HAMPTON, Va. — Friday’s evacuation of Kecoughtan High School after police say a gun and suspicious device were found was made more stressful by the fact many students didn’t have their cellphones. That’s what one student told News 3. The incident is putting a spotlight on the state’s effort to crack down on cellphone use in schools.
“There were a lot of people who had left their phones in their bags,” Kecoughtan High School junior Skylar Newell said.
