Students at a New Jersey high school were ordered to shelter in their classrooms, then sent home early after authorities said a pair of rowdy trespassers made their way onto campus.
Hillsborough High School in Somerset County was put on lockdown Friday morning after two strangers somehow got into a common area at the school ahead of the opening bell.
Students said that one was pushing around a chair as another sat on a table.
"They were like sitting on tables in the commons," said student Cailin Dugan. "Everyone was pretty creeped out."
It was not immediately clear what threat the two men, both in their 20s, posed to the school.
Hillsborough police arrived on scene Friday morning and placed an officer outside every entrance of the school.
Officers also searched the school for bombs or guns at the school, which dismissed early because of the scare.
