Caney Valley Kansas Schools were under a soft lock down at both schools as the city looked into a situation on Tuesday afternoon

Sergeant Natalie Rees with the Caney Police Department said students were safe and accounted during the hour long lockdown. Sgt. Rees explained what a soft lock down is.

Under the soft lock down, students were not allowed to leave the school and no one was permitted inside the building. However, the students were free to roam around the schools. The Caney Police Department made the call to have the schools conduct the soft lock down to keep students in once central location.

The Caney Valley Schools Facebook Page said all students were safe and accounted for during the incident. Bus routes were delayed by 45 minutes.
