Lockdown Lifts At Osseo Middle School

OSSEO, Minn. (WCCO) - Students at Osseo Middle School spent a portion of the day in lockdown Tuesday, though the situation was resolved with assistance from law enforcement.

In a letter sent to families, Principal Brian Chance said a physical altercation started in the building, but moved outside "because of an additional external threat."

Students were in lockdown for about 50 minutes, and afterwards, the school shifted to shelter-in-place. School doors were locked, and students were able to go about their activities.

Students went home at 2:40 p.m. as planned.

"A big thank you goes out to our Osseo Middle School community for their support and cooperation," Chance said.
