School Lockdown Short Lived

(La Porte, IN) - Two schools in La Porte were placed under a temporary lockdown this morning. Fortunately, it was strictly precautionary.

 

Police said officers were at a residence in the area of La Porte High School and Handley Elementary School trying to serve an arrest warrant on an individual.

 

School officials were notified ahead of time, and the buildings were secured as a standard procedure.

 

Police said the warrant for a crime described as a low-level felony or misdemeanor was not served, though. The suspect was not home.

 

It wasn’t long before things at both schools returned to normal.
