According to the Janesville Gazette:
Marshall Middle School in Janesville has been put on lockdown relating to a potentially suicidal subject across the street, a Janesville police official said.
Police are responding to the potentially suicidal subject in the first block of Pontiac Drive, Deputy Chief David Moore said. The school is being locked down as a precautionary measure, he said.
The police have notified Monroe Elementary School of the situation, but school has already been dismissed there, he said.
Police did not know as of 3:20 p.m. if the subject was armed, Moore said.
School officials want parents to know their children are safe, and they are advised to wait patiently until further notice.
How scary!
