YORKTOWN, Va. — A student found a written threat at Yorktown Middle School Friday afternoon.
According to the York Poquoson Sheriff’s Office, a student found a scrap of paper with a potential threat to the school in a restroom at around 1 p.m.
"School administrators, in conjunction with the York Poquoson Sheriff’s Office, initiated the division’s emergency response and threat assessment protocols," the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post.
Authorities said they implemented a "hold-in-place" procedure, which means classroom instruction continues but all movement in the building is restricted.
The sheriff's office brought in K-9s, who didn't find anything inside the school building, but they did find two bullets outside on the school grounds.
The YPSO says they will continue to investigate.
