A knife was confiscated at a Framingham middle school today, Feb. 23.

A student at Fuller Middle School reported that another student was possession of a knife.

No lockdown was called at the school.

Fuller Middle School Principal Sharon Seyller said in an email to Fuller parents that the “report was immediately investigated and found to be accurate. The student was detained and the knife was confiscated without incident.”

Fuller Middle School is working ”closely with the Framingham Police Department and will continue our investigation until fully resolved,” said Seyller.

Framingham Police Lt. Harry Wareham said a student saw another student with a knife and reported it to school leaders.

Lt. Wareham said there was no threat made to any student.

“The knife was found in a locker,” said Lt. Wareham.

This is not the first incident at Fuller Middle School this school year.

In November and December there were reports of aggressive behavior by seventh graders at Fuller Middle.

A BB gun was found in the school, and one student was assaulted and hospitalized.

In January, more than 70 parents attended a forum with Fuller Middle School principal on the increase of “physical aggression” at the Framingham School.

On Monday, kindergarten and first grade students at McCarthy Elementary began attending Fuller Middle School.

The students are not attending McCarthy as a pipe burst over school vacation week flooding 9 classrooms at McCarthy Elementary, located across the street from Fuller Middle on Flagg Drive.
