“CHS Families: All students are safe. A call came in to the CPD indicating that a student had been hurt at the high school, but the school is unaware of any risk or any incident. Even so, we have gone into lockdown to allow the police to investigate and clear the building”, school authorities said. 

Fox3Now reported there was an active shooter situation, but this has remained unsubstantiated. 

Charlottesville is a city in Virginia, a state with relatively lax gun laws, allowing open carry for anyone with a permit. While the situation at CHS was not shooting-related, the city sees its share of gun violence.
