A former student entered the Ohio 122 school building to visit former teachers and was walking through the school at some point by himself, said Middletown Maj. David Birk.
“Some people who were unfamiliar with the former student became suspicious, but there was not threat at all,” Birk said.
INITIAL REPORT:
A Middletown high school is on lockdown this morning.
A notice from Bishop Fenwick High School this morning states: “Bishop Fenwick High School is currently on a ‘soft lockdown.’ This means that teaching continues in the building, but no one will be permitted in or out of the building until the lockdown is lifted. Everyone is safe in the building.”
Middletown Maj. David Birk said a student was acting suspiciously and the school called police. As a precaution the school was placed on lockdown. Birk said officers are on scene investigating and talking with those involved.
The school is asking for people to not call the school so phone lines can remain open.
