COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Parents of students at Double Churches Elementary School got word late Friday evening about a student bringing a weapon to school.

The principal sent a message to parents, and a robocall informed them that the weapon was safely confiscated without incident.

News Leader 9 received a copy of the letter, which stated the incident happened towards the end of the school day, and students were dismissed as usual.
