Multiple U.S. Schools Lockdown Amid Gun-Related Incidents

Several schools across the United States experienced lockdowns due to gun-related incidents. In New Smyrna Beach, Florida, a homeless man with a BB gun near a middle school prompted a brief lockdown, although there were no injuries. Wilbur Cross High School in New Haven was locked down over reports of a student with a gun, but no firearm was found. Similarly, Cooper City High School in Florida was briefly locked down due to social media reports of a weapon on campus, which turned out to be unfounded. Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland experienced a prolonged lockdown after a fight involving students escalated to gunfire nearby, leading to two arrests, including a juvenile and an adult charged with multiple offenses. There were no reported injuries at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, but the incident raised concerns about school safety and communication.
