Police have responded to an incident at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.
Apalachee High School was “cleared for dismissal” and all other Barrow County Schools are on a “soft lockdown,” the Barrow County School District said.
“The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office says this is for the safety of everyone right now. Please do not visit your child’s school at this time. We cannot release students during a lockdown,” the school district said in a statement. “We will let you know as soon as BCSO says it is all clear for dismissal.”
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said he’s “directed all available state resources to respond.”
Kemp said he’s “praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state.”
Winder is about 45 miles outside of Atlanta…..
This isn’t far from me, maybe an hour and a half’s drive. A school near where I work is now on high alert because of yesterday’s event.
Terrible…..
