HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (WBTV) – Several schools were on lockdown Wednesday morning due to police activity in a Huntersville neighborhood, officials said.
According to information from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Blythe Elementary School, J.M. Alexander Middle School, North Academy of World Languages and Lake Norman Charter Middle School were all on lockdown before 11 a.m.
Officers on the scene said they were trying to serve a warrant, but children were outside in a nearby playground.
The suspect barricaded himself inside but peacefully surrendered about half an hour later. The lockdown was lifted once the warrants were served.
