DOTHAN, Ala (WDNews) – A series of gunshots near Lake St. at approximately 1:50 PM led to precautionary hard lockdowns at Carver 9 and Fain schools on Monday afternoon. Bus services were halted as police investigated the scene.
Lt. Scott Owens of the Dothan Police Department confirmed that there was no direct threat to the schools. The lockdowns were a standard safety measure due to the proximity of the incident. By 2:25 PM, buses were cleared to resume pick-up, and the lockdowns were lifted.
Police searched the area but did not locate the suspects. Bullet casing markers were placed along Allen Rd, and crime scene tape blocked off parts of the road from Draper to Williams, while neighborhood residents observed from their porches.
