A high school in northeastern Arizona was locked down Wednesday after a student reported seeing weapons on school grounds, an FBI spokeswoman said.

No students were taken hostage, nor was there a standoff with police, as some authorities had said early on, said Deborah McCarley, a spokeswoman for the FBI, which had an agent at Ganado High School after authorities received the report.

As a standard procedure for a report of weapons at the school, the building was locked down while students and school grounds were searched, McCarley said.

“They are investigating the allegations there was a student or students that have or had weapons on school grounds today,” McCarley said.

McCarley said she knew of no weapons that were found at the school.
