 Good morning. This is Shannon Deskins reporting live outside Elkhorn City Elementary School in Pike County Where I have just spoken with principal James Mercer who is explaining a situation that happened this morning at the school What we are understanding is Elkhorn City Elementary School was placed on lockdown for 30 45 minutes this morning following a confrontation that happened between two adults What principal Mercer and Superintendent Reid Adkins have both shared with me is that about the time school was going to start this morning, an adult, a woman came into the school Was going to speak with someone relative of hers who was an employee here and then while she was here. Ran into an instructional aid another employee who worked here at the school who works here at the school and apparently there was an issue between them that happened off campus and unfortunately it was addressed here this morning. So Kentucky State Police work call the school did call 911 when the confrontation happened just inside these doors behind me. As the woman was leaving the school is when she ran into the lady that she according to the principal put her hands on this morning. That is what prompted The school to say we need we need to contact the police. So Elkhorn City City Police Kentucky State Police responded the school did go on lockdown as a precaution. There were no weapons or anything like that. But of course They're saying they just couldn't take that chance. So a message was sent out to the parents via phone call put out on a Facebook page that this was was happening. Now what we're understanding is the woman It had had left the building. She left the property and according to Superintendant Adkins Kentucky State Police is investigating. So at this point we don't know anything about whether she will be charged or anything. I know principal Mercer just told me a few minutes ago they're going to look into with the central office to seeing about What to do further with this individual whether or not she will be banned from campus. None of that has been determined at this point. But what we do want to get out this morning is there was a confrontation this morning that did become physical between two adult females at Elkhorn City Elementary School. They did not in any way involve any students. It wasn't related to the school from what we are understanding at this point and it's still early on. This was something that had happened outside school off school property. But was brought onto the property this morning. That confrontation happened like I said around 8am this morning school was placed on lockdown purely purely a precaution. No injuries as far as to any students or anything like that are concerned. But we're going to continue to follow this story. We're going to continue to speak with the individuals here as this day goes on and the investigation continues. Things may change a little bit in this. And if that happens we will bring it to you as quickly as possible.
