New Hanover High student caught with knives at school

A student is in custody after being caught with knives on school grounds.

New Hanover High School went into lockdown early Monday morning after a sophomore was found in the bathroom with knives.

Authorities said the 15-year-old special-needs student had a knife in each hand, and held a knife to his own throat.

The student was suspended last week and returned to school today.

The lockdown lasted about 10 minutes.
