On June 8, 2022, a student found live ammunition inside the men's student bathroom. The school went into lockdown shortly after the discovery.

Roughly two minutes later, a faulty smoke detector sounded off the fire alarm and all students were safely evacuated from the building. A day earlier, graffiti with a threatening message was found in that same bathroom.[13]
