COLUMBUS, Ohio — Police are searching for a student accused of bringing a gun to Marion-Franklin High School on Tuesday.
According to the Columbus Division of Police, a parent called in a tip to school staff that one of two boys may have been in possession of the weapon.
The building administrator placed the building on a lockdown at approximately 1:44 p.m.

The school remained under lockdown for the remainder of the day. As a result, all after school activities scheduled for Tuesday were canceled.
