The Swansea Police Department first became aware of the report Monday night and immediately launched an investigation. The report claimed that a second-grader at Hoyle Elementary School may have brought the firearm into the building “on a previous day,” according to police.

Throughout the investigation Tuesday, police said officers developed probable cause to search a house in Swansea that was connected to the report.
