Students held inside Manassas elementary during police investigation
Students at George C. Round Elementary School were placed on modified lockdown this morning.
Manassas police surrounded the school at 10100 Hastings Drive after the sound of gunshots were reported the in the area.
“Upon investigation, the police department did not find anything suspicious,” stated George C. Round Elementary Principal Kara Mills in a letter to parents distributed today.
Teachers were told to stay inside the building and continue with their normal instructional day during the modified lockdown, which lasted between 9:50 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.
“Because normal activity continued in the building, there was little to no loss of instructional time,” according to Mills.
A total of 532 students attend Round Elementary School.
