FLORISSANT, Mo. — McCluer North High School, located at 705 Waterford Drive, was placed on lockdown following reports of a possible weapon on campus.
According to school officials and law enforcement, the lockdown was initiated as a precautionary measure after information surfaced suggesting that a student or individual may have brought a weapon onto school grounds.
