Administrators at a Wilkinsburg Elementary School said the school was briefly on lockdown on Tuesday morning.


According to a news release from the district, Kelly Elementary School was placed in lockdown after a crossing guard noticed a person outside the school building that she believed to be acting suspiciously.

School leaders said police were called to the school as a precaution and students were kept in their classrooms.

Police swept the building and determined that no unauthorized persons were inside the school, so the lockdown was lifted.
