Weapon found at Decatur High School
Two Decatur high schools are on soft lockdown after officials say a weapon was found on campus.
DECATUR, Ga. - Decatur High School was put on lockdown Friday morning after officials said a handgun was fired during a fight on campus.
Decatur police responded around 9:40 a.m. to the campus, which is located on N McDonough Street.
The school was placed on a hard lockdown for about an hour, but was shifted to a soft lockdown as the situation de-escalated.
Investigators say it started when two high school students got into an argument. At some point, a revolver was pulled out, causing one of the students to run into the parking lot in an attempt to get away, police said.
