Shots fired near Sumner High School prompt lockdown
Posted by on 8th October 2007
Sumner police and neighboring jurisdictions acted quickly Friday morning after shots were fired in a parking lot behind Sumner High School.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of shooting a parked car with a pellet gun. Police arrested the juveniles within 40 minutes.
Fortunately, no students or staff were nearby and no one was hurt.
In a lockdown, exterior and interior doors and windows are shut and locked, lights are turned off and students are told to stay away from windows, keep low and stay quiet. Parents should not come to the school because they will not be allowed inside.
