Officials say a student holding a musical instrument as if it were a weapon prompted an alert that resulted in a Code Red at an Oviedo school.

Students playing with a toy gun near the campuses of Forest City Elementary and Lake Brantley High schools caused a scare as both schools were placed on a Code Red lockdown, officials said.

Students with a water gun forced officials at Winter Springs High School to put the school on a brief Code Red on Monday afternoon, according to a news release.

They went into Lake Mary High School’s auditorium and told one of the students that they were there for a “bounty,” investigators explained.

Lake Mary High School has been placed on a lockdown.
