Normal Community High School on Lockdown, Police Responding

Normal Police say no one was injured in a gunfire incident at Normal Community High School on Friday morning.

Unit 5′s school reach system notified parents that two people were taken into custody after shots were fired inside the building into the ceiling. The school was placed on lockdown for a time until police had the situation under control.

Parents await for students to be released after a gunfire incident
at Normal Commmunity High School.
Normal Community has started to dismiss students. Students were seen walking from NCHS to Eastview Christian Church where Unit 5 buses were staged.

Superintendent Gary Niehaus tells WJBC students are only being released after parents come to Eastview Christian Church to sign for them. Students aren’t being taken home by bus and aren’t being allowed to drive themselves home. Source

Why is getting hands on guns so easy these days? Central Illinois is just as vulnerable as other school districts. That is now a fact.
