(WOONSOCKET, R.I.) — Live ammunition was discovered by a custodian in a Rhode Island middle school boys’ restroom, prompting a lockdown and subsequent investigation into how the bullets got there, police said.
Woonsocket Middle School at Hamlet, located about 15 miles north of Providence, was put on lockdown Friday afternoon after the discovery. Woonsocket Police Chief Thomas F. Oates III said a custodian was checking the restroom shortly around school dismissal time when she found small-caliber ammunition. She immediately brought it to the principal’s office.
Oates said fewer than 10 bullets were discovered.
Several news outlets reported that around the same time, a teenage girl said she saw a possible shooter but later recanted her story. The Providence Journal reported the girl was overheard by a teacher saying she saw someone on a footbridge reaching into a backpack. That also prompted the lockdown.

Authorities said a shooting at a South Whittier high school was thwarted last week after a security guard overheard a student making a threat, which led deputies to a stockpile of weapons at the teenager’s home.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said Wednesday the deputies seized two AR-15s, two handguns — a Colt .45 and a Colt .38 — 90 high-capacity magazines and ammunition.
The 17-year-old El Camino High School student, arrested Friday on suspicion of making criminal threats, did not have a weapon when he was confronted by the security guard.
