School leaders say they're taking extra security measures at Dublin High School, starting with metal detectors at the doors. The security change comes one day after a gun went off in a classroom, placing the school on lock down. Tuesday, all 750 students were scanned with metal detector wands before entering the school. Bags and purses were also checked at the door.

Superintendent Dr. Chuck Ledbetter says students will be searched until the process is no longer needed. He is also researching the cost of additional security devices and if they're needed at the middle school.
