West Perry High School was on a brief lockdown Wednesday morning after a bullet was found in the hallway.
According to State Police, the .45 Caliber bullet was found in the hallway by a janitor. A canine was brought in, but did not find anything in the school to be dangerous.
During the course of the investigation, officers interviewed a student who said he accidentally brought the bullet to school. He told police his father borrowed his jacket to go target shooting, and accidentally left the bullet in the pocket of his coat. The student said he tried to throw the bullet in the trash can, but obviously missed the trash can.
He will face disorderly conduct charges.
The lockdown was lifted around 1:15 p.m.
There was no danger to students or staff.
