Durham Public Schools said a student reported seeing a weapon in another student's backpack. When the School Resource Office investigated, they did not find a weapon.
DPS said the school went on lockdown for the investigation as a matter of precaution. The lockdown was lifted when the investigation revealed that there was no danger to students or staff.

Likewise in that case, investigators said they searched but never found a student with a weapon.
