A live bullet was found inside the boys locker room at Hopkinton High School on Thursday, prompting school officials to end classes for the day and dismiss the student body.
"We were notified this morning that a single round of ammunition was found in the boys team room," wrote school Principal Evan Bishop, in a message to staff and parents. "Immediately, local Police and fire were contacted and our Crisis Response Team was convened."
No weapons were found in the building, Hopkinton Police Department said in a press statement on the events.
"We have no reason to believe that a weapon was actually on school grounds," the statement added.
A variety of Massachusetts State Police and investigators responded to the school Thursday after the find. No further information was immediately available, and school is expected to resume as normally scheduled Friday.
