Breaking: Schools On Lockdown Due To Ongoing Search For Violent Criminal

By Mrs. I. Perl

Multiple schools in the area are currently on lockdown due to an ongoing search for a violent criminal. 

The suspect is thought to be armed and dangerous and was last seen by police when they attempted to stop him from stealing a vehicle on the NYS Thruway at milepost 49, north of Exit 16. The suspect ran out of the car and into a nearby wooded area, leading police to start a wide search in the area.

For the safety of students and staff all nearby schools have been placed on lockdown while the search continues, in order to ensure that the suspect can’t get into a school building.
