FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A high school in Fulton County went into lockdown on Thursday after a BB gun was found on campus. Fulton County Schools officials say Banneker High School went into a hard lockdown after a weapon was found. “A ‘hard lockdown’ is when there is a threat or hazard inside of the school building or in situations when school leaders deem appropriate,” Principal Vincent Golden wrote in a letter to parents.
