A Facebook post alerted residents today that an incident occurred at the local high school and urged caution while authorities work to address the situation, saying the safety of the community remains the top priority.
The post asked parents and guardians to take an active role in monitoring their children, know their whereabouts at all times and encourage them to remain at home unless travel is necessary until the situation stabilizes, the post said.
Community leaders are coordinating efforts to increase safety measures and visibility in affected areas, the post said. Residents of Shady Lane and Oakhaven Apartments were advised that a temporary 24-hour precautionary curfew is being strongly encouraged and that individuals should be outside only when absolutely necessary, such as traveling to or from essential destinations.
The post also warned residents to expect an increased law enforcement presence over the next few days and thanked the community for its cooperation. This is a developing story and will be updated as more details emerge.
