Gun found at Muncie Central, no lockdown necessary

A gun was discovered at Muncie Central High School Wednesday afternoon in a minor incident, according to school officials.

Ana Pichardo, director of communications for Muncie Community Schools, said everything was under control. 

"The student came in late," Pichardo said. "He didn't go where he was supposed to and the principal smelled [marijuana] on him."

After a search of the student's locker, the principal found a loaded weapon. The student was removed from class and taken to the Youth Outreach Center. 

Central High School was not under a lockdown at any point. The high school is 1.5 miles away from Ball State University off Walnut Street.
