From Staff Reports

A Dallas middle school remained in modified lockdown Thursday afternoon after police responded to reports of a man walking in the area with a sword.

William Hawley Atwell Law Academy in the 1300 block of Reynoldston Lane was placed under a lockdown at about noon.

Principal Harnell Williams said at about 2:30 p.m. that the school remained in modified lockdown and that people were not allowed in or out of the building. She said it was unclear whether the lockdown would be lifted in time for the students’ scheduled release at 3:30 p.m.

Mrs. Williams said the students were safe and that parents would be notified if there was a change in the students’ release time.
