HOLLAND, Mich. — A lockdown has been lifted at West Ottawa High School on Thursday morning after reports of an individual seen with a weapon on campus.

The call came into the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office at about 8:20 a.m., according to a news release.

Both the North Building and South Building were put on lockdown while law enforcement searched the North Building.

Deputies say the individual seen with a weapon left the campus and is now being interviewed by investigators at a nearby home.

There is no additional threat to the public, according to the sheriff’s office, which is continuing to work with school administrators.

The investigation continues and law enforcement is working to determine if there are any applicable criminal charges.
