Las Vegas NowLockdown Lifted on North Las Vegas Schools
Four schools in North Las Vegas were locked down after a teenager fired shots at a police officer and three other people.
Clark County Schools police Capt. James Ketsaa says elementary schools H.P Fitzgerald and Jo Mackey were locked down Monday about 30 minutes before school was to let out. Ketsaa says 500 to 600 students were inside each school.
Authorities say the other two schools are Desert Rose Adult High School and Career Center and Jeffrey Behavior Junior and Senior High School. Students had been dismissed for the day when those schools were locked down.
North Las Vegas police Sgt. Tim Bedwell says a police officer and a city worker were investigating two people for illegal dumping when a teen opened fire from a neighborhood nearby.
