LEXINGTON, Ky. — Henry Clay High School was briefly placed on lockdown due to reports of a possible weapon on campus, Fayette County Public Schools officials said Thursday.

There was a large police presence on site securing the campus and no students or staff were harmed, a spokeswoman for the district said. The campus was not evacuated, as officials said law enforcement has properly secured the area.

Parents looking to check their students out can do so in front of the gym, but officials ask that they stay in their cars.

When under lockdown in Fayette County, schools cannot be entered or exited by families or other visitors.

It is not yet known who brought the weapon to the Lexington school located at 2100 Fontaine Road.

More details may be released later today. Check back later for updates from Spectrum News.
