(KAIR)--At no time was there a threat to safety.
That word comes in a statement released from the Superintendent for Atchison's Public Schools Friday.
Dr. Susan Myers issued the statement following the discovery of a small BB gun in a bag belonging to a High School student.
According to Myers, the gun, which looked like a handgun, was discovered by the High School Principal.
Following the discovery, Myers says School Board polices concerning the possession of a BB gun were followed.
Patrons of USD 409 were notified of the discovery in an alert message sent Friday morning.
