Multiple schools in Richland, Washington, were put on lockdown Monday as police responded to a possible shooting situation at a Fred Meyer grocery store.
"We will let families know as soon as the non-critical lockdown is lifted," the district wrote in a message displayed on its home page.
A district spokesperson told Fox News that the district put schools on lockdown as a "precaution step" upon recommendation from the police.
The Tri-City Herald reported that Fred Meyer employees and customers were being escorted out of the store to gather in the parking lot while officers canvassed the store.
