Replica bullets worn by a student caused a brief “soft” lockdown this morning at York High School, officials said.

Suspected bullets were found a hallway, officials said, prompting the lockdown and an investigation. Soon, it was determined that the items were from a student’s apparel – specifically, “a fashion belt with bullet replicas,” school officials said.

Four of them had fallen off.

“The Elmhurst Police Department has confirmed that the bullets found in the hallway were not real and at no time were students or staff in danger,” District 205 school officials told parents.
