KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Law enforcement's pursuit of a suspect on Wednesday morning led to a brief lockdown at Riviera Elementary School.
The school, located at 10505 Fairway Drive, was notified by Lake County Central Dispatch at 11:15 a.m. that a foot pursuit was taking place near the campus, according to school Principal Diana Davidson.
Davidson said the school's lockdown protocol was immediately implemented and the campus was secured in about 45 seconds.
She said the campus remained in lockdown briefly, estimating it lasted only about two to three minutes.
Shortly afterward, Central Dispatch called the school to say the person who deputies had been chasing was apprehended, Davidson said.
Davidson said the lockdown protocols were followed quickly by students, staff, parents and substitute teachers.
“It was very impressive,” she said.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request from Lake County News for information about the incident.
