An elementary school in Flint is on lockdown after reports of shots fired in the area.
Summerfield Elementary School went on lockdown around 10:00 A.M., according to Steve Tunnicliff, associate superintendent with the Genesee Intermediate School District.
What Happened?
“There were reports of shots fired in the area so we took the necessary precautions to go into secure mode,” Tunnicliff said. Summerfield is an early childhood center which is run by the GISD. According to Tunnicliff, a school resource officer was sent to Summerfield as a precaution. A Genesee County Sheriff’s Office deputy could be seen walking the grounds of the school around 10:30 A.M.
As a precaution, students were taken inside the building.
The lockdown was prompted by the shooting of a woman and a toddler nearby.
