Lansing Everett, Holt District Briefly Initiate Lockdowns

WKAR File Photo

Lansing Everett High School was locked down for a time Thursday after a report that three men fleeing a police officer had entered the school with a gun.

The Lansing State Journal reports the three were arrested inside the school. One of them was carrying a pellet gun.

Meanwhile, the Holt school district instituted a perimeter lockdown at the high school, ninth grade campus and the junior high because of a rumor of threatened violence at the high school.  An investigation was conducted and officials say the rumor was unsubstantiated.
