The schools are located Downtown, on Bright Street.
Two Downtown Jersey City schools were placed on lockdown by their principals Monday morning after an incident involving a parent who may be armed, police said in radio transmissions.
At 9 a.m., police were searching the man, who was identified as a dad who regularly drops off his child at one of the two schools on Bright Street, School 3 and Middle School 4. Police said in radio transmissions that two people are in custody, including a woman with a taser. Police said an ongoing dispute between two families over an incident at the school between their children turned violent outside the schools. Police also said the man involved is believed to be armed.
A family member of one of the people taken into custody has asked police for transportation home because she fears immediately retaliation.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
