Five Lincoln Schools Locked Down After Nearby Shooting

school-lockdownAuthorities briefly locked down five schools in Lincoln after a shooting in a nearby apartment.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports the schools reopened early Thursday afternoon. Exterior doors were locked, but activity continued as usual inside the schools because the shooting was off grounds.

Authorities say a man with a gun and another with a baseball bat burst into the apartment where the shooting took place. One man was shot in the stomach, although his injuries were non-life threatening.

The suspects later escaped in a vehicle.
