LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kammerer Middle School was put on lockdown Friday morning after several fights broke out.
In a letter to parents Friday, Kammerer Principal David Armour said two students — one from Kammerer and one from another JCPS school — entered the school in the morning and started several fights.
Armous said someone reported that a student might have a gun. The school went on lockdown while Louisville Metro Police officers and JCPS Security investigated the threat.
No gun was found after a search of the building and students.
JCPS spokesperson Carolyn Callahan spoke to the media about the situation and released the following statement:
"Two students -- one who is a Kammerer student, another who does not go to Kammerer -- were at the school and they walked in and started fights, several fights. Because of that, other smaller fights broke out.
"We had about six to eight students, from what we know at this point, involved in fights. At some point during this someone reported seeing what they believed to be a weapon.
By 9:30 a.m., the school was no longer on lockdown, and classes continued as normal, Armour said. The students involved in the fights will be disciplined according to the district's handbook.
