GARDEN CITY, MI – A school in Garden City was locked down Tuesday and two students taken into custody face expulsion after two guns were found at the school, authorities said.

One of the guns was found inside Cambridge High school and another was found inside, Garden City Schools Superintendent Derek Fisher said in a statement on the school district’s Remind system that sends email messages and reminders to parents and other subscribers.

“Based on information so far, there does not appear to have been a plan to harm other students or staff members in the school environment,” Fisher wrote in the statement. “Certainly, any dangerous weapon, especially a firearm is cause for alarm.

“Considering this, please know that the safety of students, staff and all members of our school community is of the utmost importance. As superintendent, I am personally appreciative for the quick action of our Cambridge staff and for the prompt response of our officers with the Garden City Police Department.”

The school was placed on lockdown about 9:20 a.m. The two students were taken into custody and will face expulsion, according to Hometownlife.com. Both are residents of Garden City, a Wayne County community of 27,700.
