Student with weapons prompts Winslow school lockdown

Winslow Township Middle School was put on lockdown for a while Tuesday after a student was found to have a kitchen-style steak knife and a spring-loaded pellet gun in a classroom, police said.

The student did not threaten anyone, and no students were in danger, police said. Officers responded around 12:40 p.m. to the school after receiving a report of a student with a weapon.

Police said the student was charged with possession of weapons for an unlawful purpose.
