From MoCo360:
[This story, originally published at 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 24, 2024, was updated at 11:55 a.m. to add that the school’s lockdown was lifted.
At 11:49 a.m., Montgomery County Police said the lockdown at Watkins Mill High School in Gaithersburg had been lifted and the report of a firearm was “determined to be unfounded.”
At 11:06 a.m., police said that the school was placed on lockdown because of a report of a “person believed to have a firearm.” Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) spokesperson Chris Cram told MoCo360 that “we were made aware of a threat of weapon and the school went into lockdown.”
At 11:37 a.m., police said on X, formerly Twitter, that the school remained on lockdown as police determined whether the threat was valid.
In November, the school was in a shelter-in-place for a nearby shooting in Montgomery Village.]

Their priorities and those advocates who advocate for no security don't have our kids best interests at heart and all they care about is votes and politics. Their kids are in private so they don't care and its all show.
