MADISON, Wis. — Several schools in Madison were on lockout status Wednesday morning because of a shooting, according to the Madison Metropolitan School District.
Sennett Middle School, East High School, La Follette High School and Nuestro Mundo Community School were affected.
A lockout status is when there is a perceived threat outside of the school, according to district spokesman Tim Lemonds. Wednesday’s lockout was connected to a shooting on Madison’s east side where two people were hurt.
A few of the students and a parent were victims of the shooting, according to Lemonds.
Madison officers believe the shooting was a targeted incident.
Lemonds said after talking with the Madison Police Department district officials felt it was necessary to put the schools on lockout as a precautionary measure.
The lockout was lifted after 30 minutes.
