A person posing as a student rode a school bus and entered a high school in Franklin County with a weapon.That's according to Tuscarora School District Superintendent Rodney Benedick, who sent a letter to families with information about Wednesday's incident.Benedick said the person – whose name hasn't been released – got on the bus after claiming he was a newly enrolled student at James Buchanan High School in Mercersburg.
'Upon arrival at the school's main office, it became evident that the individual was not a new student and did not have an official purpose for being in the school. We involved our School Police Officer, who placed the individual under his supervision and eventual custody. School officials placed the high school in lockdown, which means that students and staff remained in their locations and did not travel throughout the building.
