COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

One person is in custody after a temporary lockdown at Morgan County R-II in Versailles.

Superintendent Bryan Pettengill said in a statement that the campus was put on lockdown Thursday evening after a report of a person trying to bring a gun on school property.

"Law enforcement was already on site when the individual arrived and took the person into custody without incident," Pettengill said in a statement.

He added that no students or staff were in danger.

The lockdown was lifted after confirmation from law enforcement.

ABC 17 News has reached out to law enforcement for more information.
