Wesley Chapel, FL – Wesley Chapel High School is currently under a controlled campus status Wednesday afternoon after a report indicated there may be a weapon on school grounds, according to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies are actively canvassing the area as a precaution while the investigation continues. The sheriff’s office said the school’s dismissal has been temporarily paused “out of an abundance of caution.”
According to the department’s statement, there have been no confirmed reports of a weapon or active threat at this time. The measure is strictly precautionary as law enforcement works to ensure student and staff safety.
The Pasco Sheriff’s Office said an update will be provided once the investigation concludes or if new information becomes available. Parents and guardians are advised to monitor the sheriff’s office’s official Facebook page for verified updates rather than circulating unconfirmed reports on social media.
Wesley Chapel High is located in eastern Pasco County, roughly 25 miles north of Tampa.
