CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — A tip led police to six handguns in a high school locker and the arrest of three students early Tuesday, said police who were investigating why the weapons were brought into the building.

Police said they aren't sure what the teenagers had in mind, since no threat was made, there was no ammunition and the guns were left in a locker as classes started at Pontiac High School.

The building was locked down and all students were kept in classrooms after someone alerted a police officer on campus about the guns.
