Cincinnati, Ohio Schools Close to Offer Safety Training
Northwest local schools in Cincinnati, Ohio were closed for safety training following a recent fatal shooting that prompted a lockdown at a local high school.
Northwest High School (NWHS) went into full lockdown after school officials heard gunshots firing, NWHS says. "At the time when gunshots were heard, students who were immediately outside of the building were ushered back into the school and the doors were locked. Following proper A.L.I.C.E protocol, since the shooter had not been identified, individuals that later returned to the building were not granted re-entry. A.L.I.C.E is a national active shooter training & preparedness model. Students were held in a secure location until family members arrived to pick them up. NWHS parents were notified by phone and email of the lockdown," notes NWHS.
