Just after the doors opened to students Friday morning, the secretary thought she saw an
unknown black male, age 50 woth salt and pepper hair enter the elevator. She immediately
called Lakewood Police that came with amazing speed.
The building was surrounded, classrooms secured. As more and more police arrived, the
students were calmly led out of the building, as the police made a sweep of the entire area.
When I contacted Superintendent Patterson, he explained what was going on, and said,
everyone was following protocol.
As I was leaving children were being let into the building.
Great work Lakewood Schools, Lakewood Police, and even some of Lakewood Fire were there.
