The lockdowns for Sandalwood High School and Alden Road Exceptional Student Center are were lifted Tuesday afternoon, hours after they went on lockdown due to police activity in the area.
Police say the activity was in response to an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the area, which started from a dispute. They say shots were fired around 9 a.m. There are no reports of any injuries, but the suspect remains on the loose.
JSO called out extra units to assist with the search, including a helicopter. The schools were put on lockdown as a precaution. During the lockdown, all students and staff were safe.
Police say the suspect was never on school property. They didn't find any weapon, but did find some evidence, police say. Police also have suspect information, but they said they aren't releasing that info at this time to prevent compromising the search.
