According to preliminary reports, the school is said to be R.H. King Academy, but police have not confirmed that at this time.
Nearby schools have been placed on hold and secure, meaning outer doors are locked, and no one enters or leaves the building. However, unlike a lockdown, students must resume their studies inside the school.
