SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, Va. — UPDATE: Southampton High School was put on lockdown Thursday morning while the county sheriff's office and Virginia State Police searched for a possible weapon in the building.
A letter from the administration to the community said its staff was tipped off that a student might have brought a weapon and "contraband" to the school.
They didn't say what kind of weapon was involved in the tip.
The Southampton County Sheriff's Office brought K-9s to search the building.
Following the search, Superintendent Dr. Gwendolyn Shannon said no weapon or drugs were found, and the law enforcement agencies issued an all-clear.
Students have since resumed normal activities.
