Holliston HS 'Containment Protocol' Called For Fake Gun Video
A video of two students who were not at school Wednesday prompted the containment of Holliston High School.

HOLLISTON, MA – Holliston High School was placed under a containment protocol Wednesday after a video surfaced of two students showing what was determined to be an airsoft gun, school officials said. The students were not at school Wednesday.
The video did not specify threats to Holliston High School, but administrators responded "aggressively" as it was shared to a number of students, according to school officials. Police found the two students while additional security was put in place at Holliston High School.
The containment protocol was lifted around 12:10 p.m. after the students were located. During a containment protocol, students and staff may move about the building freely but cannot leave.
