Lockdown at Margate Middle School lifted after report of weapon on campus unfounded

Margate Middle School was briefly placed on lockdown Monday as police investigated reports of a weapon on campus, which were later unfounded.

The Margate Police Department and the Broward Sheriff's Office investigated the school grounds.

Further information was not available.

Last October, a student at Margate Middle School was disciplined for bringing a BB gun to campus, prompting a large police response.
