Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD)responded to reports of a firearm at north Charlotte middle school Thursday morning.

Police were called to Ranson Middle School due to an armed person on campus. Students and staff were safe according to a CMS representative.

CMS confirmed that it was a student who brought the firearm on campus.

This makes the 28th gun found on CMS property since the school year began in August 2021.
