Plymouth-Canton high schools to be virtual next week after Thursday's lockdown

PLYMOUTH, Mich. (FOX 2) - Classes at Canton High School, Plymouth High School, and Salem High School will be taught virtually next week after reports of a gun on campus prompted a lockdown Thursday.

School officials said an unconfirmed report of a gun was received at about 1:40 p.m., forcing Plymouth-Canton Educational Park into an hours-long lockdown. Students were not allowed to leave when the school day ended as authorities searched the schools and grounds.
