NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Granby High School was placed on lockdown Tuesday for an investigation of a report of a person with a weapon at the school.

No one was hurt, and as of Tuesday night school officials said no weapon had been found at the school. They did say a “possible weapon was allegedly observed in a nearby apartment complex.” 10 On Your Side has reached out to police for clarification.

During the lockdown, police said several students were detained. WAVY’s Jon Dowding saw one person taken into custody in handcuffs, and later on WAVY’s Kayla Gaskins reported seeing another student in handcuffs.

Police at 3:45 p.m. said one juvenile was in custody and the lockdown had been lifted. All students had been dismissed at that time.

Norfolk dispatchers originally said police were working an incident “near” the school, but police later confirmed there was a report of a person with a weapon in the school. They were notified just after 10 a.m.

10 On Your Side has confirmed with Granby High School parents that they did receive a robocall from the school at 11:10 a.m. informing them about the lockdown. The message said the school would be providing updates later.

The school division’s full statement was released to the media around 7:40 p.m. Tuesday.

“Granby High School went into lockdown this morning under the advisement of the Norfolk Police Department, who had been called to investigate an incident involving a possible weapon that was allegedly observed in a nearby apartment complex. School administration immediately enacted safety and security protocols. All within Granby High School remained in lockdown as police conducted their investigation. No weapon was found in the school, and no one was hurt. We are grateful to our staff and students for their quick actions, and to our partners with the Norfolk Police Department for their quick response. Crisis counselors and additional staff will be on duty at Granby High School on Wednesday. We thank our entire school community for their caring and concern.”

Parents reported to WAVY that they started receiving text messages and calls from their kids about the lockdown just after 10 a.m. Many dropped everything and ran to the school.

“My ninth-grader is inside of there I got a text message from him saying that he was scared for his life,” said a parent named Jonell, whose son attends Granby. “I didn’t know what was going to go on so I panicked all I could do was pray.”

As concerned parents waited outside the school, they had a lot of questions.

“My biggest concern is how did they get [a weapon] inside when they got a metal detector right inside the school,” asked Tammy Gardner. Gardner has two kids enrolled at Granby.

Jonell agreed with Gardner.

“There needs to be more security, more metal detectors,” Jonell said.

By around 2:30 p.m. students were free to go. Some told 10 On Your Side this isn’t the first time something like this happened at Granby.

“We’ve done something similar before where we had like a person with a gun and they were in our classroom and we didn’t know about it,” recalled Josephine, a student. “All of us just stayed calm and got through it together.”

At the end of the day, everyone was relieved no one was hurt.

Granby will have crisis counselors on hand Wednesday to help the school community.
