DETROIT (WWJ) -- A Detroit High School placed on lockdown Friday afternoon after a student was seen with a gun.

The lockdown was lifted at around 2 p.m., and students were released for the day.
The district said in a statement that it "takes all threats seriously and remains committed to prioritizing the safety of our school community."
