Armwood High School on lockdown after weapon found on campus
Armwood High School in Seffner, Florida, is currently under lockdown following reports of a weapon discovered on campus.
School administrators have restricted all student movement within the school building to ensure safety, and no one is permitted to leave classrooms or move freely in the hallways at this time.
The school is working closely with local law enforcement, who are on-site conducting a thorough investigation to determine the situation and ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Parents and guardians have been notified, and additional updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
Authorities are urging parents to avoid the campus area until the lockdown is lifted and safety protocols have been fully addressed.
Jackson, Miss. – Authorities are investigating a violent assault and attempted robbery that took place in the stadium parking lot of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC).
The incident occurred as the victim, identified as Morgan McGuire, was leaving work.
McGuire reported that she was approached by a stranger who initially demanded money.
However, despite her verbal and physical attempts to surrender her purse, the attacker ignored her offer and proceeded to assault her.
“He asked for my money, so I verbally and physically offered him my purse, but he ignored me. He threw me to the ground and kept beating me,” McGuire recalled.
During the assault, she was punched, choked, and thrown to the ground while her attacker repeatedly threatened to shoot her.
Although the suspect demanded her purse, McGuire noted that the attack did not appear to be motivated by robbery alone.
The assault only ended when a passerby intervened, which McGuire described as occurring “after what felt like forever.”
UMMC confirmed that the UMMC Police Department, in coordination with Capitol Police, is actively investigating the attack.
“We take seriously the safety of everyone on our campus and will continue to work with our partners, including Capitol Police and other law enforcement, to uphold this commitment,” UMMC stated.
Authorities have not yet released a description of the suspect, and it remains unclear whether any arrests have been made.
Officials urge anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
