Greensburgh - A Pennsylvania middle school cancelled classes after a sleepwalking student was found inside the building.

State police say the seventh-grade student called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday to report he was inside Wendover Middle School in Hempfield Township.

The student told authorities he had been sleepwalking and woke up inside the school. Police say the student entered the school through a window and wandered around for about 15 minutes.

Police say the student lives about four miles from the school.

The Hempfield Area School District cancelled classes Wednesday due to security concerns, and police swept the building. The district says Wednesday's incident is not connected to another student's arrest earlier this week for allegedly threatening to shoot a female student.

More info coming in on Wendover Middle School. Their website says it's closed b/c of a possible break in, but @CBSPittsburgh has learned on Monday State Police charged a 13 year old w/ making terroristic threats, both written and verbal to allegedly carry out a mass shooting.
