UPDATE: Three Warrick County schools are given the all clear after they were on lockdown for more than an hour Wednesday morning.
Lynnville Elementary, Tecumseh Jr./Sr. High School, and Elberfeld Elementary were placed in a perimeter lockdown after a reported armed robbery a few blocks from Lynnville Elementary. Warrick County Sheriff Brett Kruse says it happened around 9:20 AM at a home on East 2nd Street. The victim told deputies a man tried to steal her truck, but ended up pinning her against her garage with her vehicle. The victim told deputies the robber was a caucasian man with long hair and a beard. The robber was reportedly wearing a camouflage jacket and a backpack at the time.
Warrick Co. Schools Asst. Superintendent Todd Armstrong says Tecumseh and Elberfeld went into a secure mode because school officials received word the robber was headed west from the scene.
UPDATE: Warrick County Dispatch tells Eyewitness News that all three schools, which had been placed under lockdown, have been given the all clear. What's NOT clear is whether a suspect is in custody.
