Ware County High School is currently on lockdown due to reports of a gunshot fired. Law enforcement officials are on the scene investigating the incident, but there is no evidence of an active shooter situation at this time.

School officials have informed parents that officers are working to clear the campus. While the threat is being taken seriously and all necessary protocols are being followed, no injuries have been reported.

Emergency medical technicians have arrived on the scene and are attending to a girl who experienced a seizure, likely triggered by the stress and panic of the alarm or drill.

Once the building is secure, students will be released.

Ware County Schools sent the following message to parents:
