BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say two schools and several government offices were locked down after an armed robbery at a pharmacy in downtown Beatrice.
The holdup at Poling Drugs happened Monday morning. No one was hurt, and police continue to search for a suspect.
Police say the man, who was armed with a handgun and wearing a ski mask, demanded drugs and then ran out of the business.
An elementary school and the high school were locked down for about an hour as a precaution. Gage County Sheriff Millard Gustafson says county offices, including the courthouse, also were locked down for a time.
