Bullet Shell Found In Boston Latin Academy

DORCHESTER (WBZ) ― Boston Latin Academy on Townsend Street was put in "safe" mode Tuesday morning after a shell casing was found in a boys bathroom.

Boston police swept the school with a K-9 unit, while the students remained in their classrooms as a precaution.

Nothing was found and no one was hurt.  Officials would not say if the shell was live.

"Safe" mode is a new way of declaring a "lockdown," according to police.

About 1,600 students attend the school in grades 7-12.
