LACEY -- An elementary school in the North Thurston School District was briefly placed on temporary lockdown after staff reported hearing what sounded like gunshots in a nearby neighborhood.
The lockdown at Evergreen Forrest Elementary came just a day after a North Thurston High School student fired a revolver in the school. No one was injured in the shooting.
The elementary school released this note around 10 a.m. Tuesday morning:
It was not immediately known if someone actually fired a gun in a nearby neighborhood, or it just sounded like it.
The lockdown was lifted around 10:30 a.m., Thurston County sheriff's deputies tweeted.
