Police pursuit puts Dover Area Schools on lockout Thursday

Police placed the Dover Area School District on a lockout Thursday as officers pursued a reportedly suicidal person. 

All buildings in the school district, including Dover Area High School and Dover Area Middle School, were placed on the lockout around 12:45 p.m., meaning no one could enter or leave any of the buildings, according to Northern York County Regional Police. 

The action was taken as a precaution after the possibly armed person was in close proximity to the schools, police said.
