Jackson Memorial Middle School briefly went into shelter-in-place protocols Tuesday morning after a student discovered a weathered round of ammunition in a shared locker used to store band instruments, according to the Jackson Township Police Department.
The incident occurred around 9:35 a.m. when the student immediately notified a teacher and a Jackson Township School Resource Officer of the discovery. The school security team quickly responded and conducted a thorough sweep of the area.

The Jackson Local School District also released a notice, stating that the shelter-in-place, which began at 9:37 a.m., was lifted at 10:01 a.m. School administrators are working closely with local law enforcement to investigate the situation.
