A Connecticut high school student was arrested after police were called to their school for reports of a gun. 

Stonington police said they were called to Stonington High School around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30, for reports of a weapon on campus. 

Officials placed the school on lockdown as a precaution and later reduced it to a classroom hold. Police arrested the unnamed student following a brief investigation, authorities stated. Officers later said they found pellet guns in the student's backpack. 

Administrators lifted the hold and released students around 1 p.m. No one was injured, and the school is "safe and secure," Stonington police said. 

Police remained on scene Thursday afternoon as the investigation continues.
