Ammunition found at Oxford HS

By John R. Ellement, Globe Staff

Authorities locked down Oxford High School today after a staff member found live ammunition inside the building, according to a spokesman for Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early, Jr.

Oxford police and other public safety agencies rushed to the school and were in the process of searching lockers, backpacks, and cars driven by students.

School officials planned to send students home once the search had been completed, according to an aide to School Superintendent Ernest Ross. No weapons were found near the ammunition, the aide said.

Oxford is about 50 miles southwest of Boston in Worcester County.
