Jackson school keeps students inside, clinic on lockdown as precaution

Southeast Convenient Care Clinic was on lockdown, and East Elementary School did not allow students outside in response to a police incident at 2 p.m. Thursday in Jackson.

Jackson schools associate superintendent Wade Bartels said police had tried to conduct a stop, and a suspect wearing a red shirt had run away on foot. Jackson police could not be reached for comment.

“It was just a precaution,” Bartels said.

Southeast Hospital marketing director Sally Owen said the clinic was on lockdown from 2 to 2:30 p.m. at the request of Jackson police.

“This is standard protocol,” Owen said.
