A high school and elementary school in Levittown are on “lockout” as police contend with a barricaded person in a nearby home.
Nassau County Police were called to a Levittown home at about 8 a.m. A man believed to be emotionally disturbed was inside a house. Police negotiators were called to the scene.
A statement on the Levittown School District web site says that as a precautionary measure, Division Avenue High School and Summit Lane Elementary Schools were placed on lockout.
