Fernley Elementary School and Fernley Intermediate School were briefly placed in lockout status on Friday due to a nearby police response.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office was called to an incident involving domestic violence and a firearm in Fernley on Friday afternoon, according to a post from the LCSO on Facebook.
While investigating the incident, deputies learned of a potential risk to Fernley Elementary School.
As a result, Fernley Elementary School and Fernley Intermediate School were placed in lockout status until the safety and security of the students and faculty could be ensured.
The lockout has since ended, and there are no threats to the schools at this time.
