A St. Paul high school has reopened after a temporary lockdown where police confiscated an Airsoft pistol.
Central High School, 275 Lexington Pkwy N., went into lockdown shortly after 11 a.m., "as officers investigate a fight and search for a possible gun," the St. Paul Police Department posted on Twitter. At 11:35 a.m. police said the lockdown was lifted, the pellet gun was recovered and three were arrested.
"There is no threat to school community," the department posted.
