NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Officials tell us Bailey STEM Magnet Middle School in the 2000 block of Greenwood Ave in East Nashville was placed on lockdown and searched. The school is still in lock down, but they will be releasing students momentarily. We're told a student at the school brought to a teacher's attention a rumor that another student had brought a gun. We're told upon learning of the rumor, teachers acted quickly and the halls were cleared within 30 seconds. Officials did find an unloaded gun in the school and have located the 8th grade student they believe is responsible. Officials say an investigation will be conducted. Bringing a gun to school is a zero tolerance offense, accompanied with automatic expulsion. ALL students are safe, and no one is injured.
