Miramar Middle School Was Locked Down After 2 Students Were Found With BB Gun: Principal

Glades Middle School in Miramar was put on lockdown Wednesday after two students were found possessing a BB gun, the school district said Thursday.

Some students reported seeing another student with a weapon on campus at 16700 Southwest 48th Court, and the two students who had the gun were found and taken into custody by law enforcement, Principal Krista Herrera said in a letter to parents.

The students face school disciplinary measures that could include expulsion, Herrera said in her note. She wrote it Wednesday, and the school district provided it to NBC 6 on Thursday.

No one was injured, and the lockdown was subsequently lifted, Herrera said.

The principal told parents that the school takes the safety and security of their children very seriously.

β€œIn this instance, it was the quick thinking of our students who came forward and reported what they had seen,” Herrera wrote.
