Apparently a motorist spotted a man with a gun in the vicinity of Brookville High, Middle, and Tomahawk Elementary School. The schools are still on lockdown.

These are always good drills.

I hope that is all it is as I have two siblings that attend these schools. However, being a teacher, the school USUALLY (not always, of course) notifies the media when it is only a drill so that ensuing panic from news reports is avoided. However, in this case, the media is reporting it as though it isn't a drill.

There already speculating that it's a hoax. The description of the man keeps changing....a lot.

Thank you. I have no access to a TV right now and the news webpage has not updated recently.

What I intended is that these work out to be nice drills. I have no doubt this is being taken very seriously.

According to someone here, there is a lady that lives around that area who is constantly calling the police about "suspicious persons." I'm not saying there was or was not a man with a gun...just take it for what it's worth.
