One man is in custody- after holding several students at gunpoint at Chelsea Middle School. The school went on lock down after the man went into the girls locker room armed with a semi automatic handgun. The suspect is a former part time Summer employee. A school resource officer responded immediately and no one was injured.
At a Wednesday meeting for the media and parents at Chelsea Middle School, school administrators and the Sheriff listened to their concerns on school safety. "Why with what happened at Sandy Hook and everything else is the Commission not listening to the school system?" Kathleen Day, a parent asked at the meeting. After the school shooting in Connecticut, Sheriff Curry asked the Shelby County Commission to provide resources officers at each campus. It said no, but he used money from his budget to do it anyway. It was one of those officers - stationed at Chelsea Middle - who made certain no one was hurt. "He Immediately responded, knowing the layout, knowing where the individual was and began a negotiation and as you learned was successful in about 20 minutes with the release of the girls and him surrendering," Sheriff Chris Curry, Shelby County said. Deputies have not yet released the gunman's identity. Multiple kidnapping charges may be filed. Four deputies will be on campus Wednesday.
