NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — Officials in Stafford County said two schools were briefly placed on a secure the building status after the sheriff’s department received a 911 call about apparent shots fired in an area near campus.
No shots were fired on or near the school campus, but someone called 911 earlier this afternoon to report hearing them while classes were still in session at the combined campus of A.G.

An official said the shots fired could have come from someone hunting in nearby woods, and callers reporting hearing shots fired can be commonplace.
