North Stafford, Va. ––
North Stafford High School was placed on lock down this morning and now authorities say they’ve made two arrests.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to the high school on Garrisonville Road (Va. 610) at 7:47 a.m. after students there said they spotted two suspicious males walking around the school building.

Deputies learned the males were not students at the school and searched the building for them, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

Their search turning up nothing, deputies learned two males were spotted walking along Va. 610.

Deputies went to the area to confront the two and one of the fled, while the other was arrested.

The male who fled the scene was also apprehended after a brief foot pursuit, said Kennedy.

Investigators have not said why they believe the two were at the school on Thursday, and have only released their ages, 17 and 18.

The 18-year-old suspect lives in Stafford County while the 17-year-old does not, said Kennedy.

We’ll bring you more on this as we get it.
