An alert text message sent to students said to “lock doors, silence phones and stay hidden until further notice.”

“Remember: RUN, if you are in the affected location, evacuate safely if you can; HIDE, if evacuation is not possible, take cover; FIGHT, as a last resort, take action to protect yourself,” school officials wrote in the alert. “Stay tuned for further safety information.”

It is unclear if there are any injuries or fatalities.
