Police have charged a resident security officer at Covington Harper Elementary School in Dumfries with possession of a weapon on school property.
Officers were called to the school at 2500 River Heritage Blvd. at 2:38 p.m. for a report of a firearm on school property, Prince William County Police Master Officer Renee Carr said in a news release.
The security resident at the school was found to be in “possession of firearms and firearm parts while on school grounds,” Carr said.
Officers located and took possession of the property without incident.
While investigating, officers determined at no point was the firearm brandished or fired on school grounds, Carr said.

Security residents live in trailers or apartments at several county schools in exchange for security services.
