Roanoke County parents concerned after lack of communication during school lockdowns
ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. - When Brett Dries got a text from his son at Cave Spring Middle School that the school was on lockdown, he feared the worst. The lockdown at Cave Spring Middle and Elementary School was triggered by a man walking away from a domestic dispute in the county with a gun. Late Friday afternoon, 10 News learned Roanoke City schools were also placed on shelter-in-place status Friday morning as a precaution. For around 30 minutes, he stood outside the middle school feeling helpless as his son texted him updates. Roanoke County Schools community relations specialist Chuck Lionberger said the lockdown was ordered by Roanoke County police before information about sheltering in place could be sent out.
