BB gun sends Mundelein High School into 'soft lockdown'

Mundelein High School went into a "soft lockdown" Monday, after a student warned the staff that a fellow student had brought a BB gun into the building.

District 120 issued a notice Monday afternoon, saying the lockdown lasted for "a short period of time." The student never fired the weapon or threatened anyone, it indicates.

Monday night, Mundelein police officials declined to specify if the student was arrested or charged with a crime. District officials could not be reached to comment about what school punishment the student could face.
