LUMBERTON, Texas — Students at Lumberton High School and Lumberton Intermediate were placed on lockdown just before lunchtime Thursday after police say a student left campus and stole guns from a relative's home.
The lockdown was initiated as Lumberton Police searched for the 15 year-old student according to Lumberton Police Chief Danny Sullins.
Deputies from the Hardin County Sheriff's Office and troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety assisted in the search.
