NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Students passed around a bullet at Passage Middle School's campus in Newport News Thursday, according to a school official.
A spokesperson with the school division, Michelle Price, said a student found a bullet on school grounds and that the bullet was passed around to several other students. It's unclear where exactly the student found the bullet.
Price said the administrators took "swift action" and increased metal detection scans and searches "out of an abundance of caution." No weapons were found at the school.
School administrators reportedly sent out a message to families, letting them know about the incident Thursday evening.
