Report of gun locks down six schools

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - As the day began to wind down in Virginia Beach Tuesday, schools went on lock down for student safety.

Virginia Beach Police said they got a report of a person with a gun just before 3:00 p.m. in the area.

As a precaution, the schools moved the students inside for safety.

Kaicee Klock was one of those students.

"They just said there was a potential threat outside," said Klock, "and we couldn't go out."

Virginia Beach locked down six schools, all near Bayside High School: Luxford Elementary School, Diamond Springs Elementary School, Newtown Elementary School, Williams Elementary School, and Bayside Middle and High Schools. The lockdown lasted until 4:15 p.m.

Normal after school activities resumed, following an afternoon where the focus was safety instead of studies.

Police said they have not found a suspect, and it is a customary precaution to lockdown schools when there police receive reports of a possible threat.
