The alert said “Lock-down recommended until further notice. If safe to do so, tell others of this
message.”
Pugh said that no one can enter or leave the school until further notification from the school police.
The school day ends at 3:20 p.m., however Pugh said that she does not know when the lock down will be lifted.
