Franklin High back to normal after heightened law enforcement presence in the area

Update: Officials say the area is clear. A person was refusing to leave their car, but has since been taken into custody. That person was placed under an "emergency detention order." The Crisis Intervention Team was called out to handle the person, who is not expected to be charged with a crime at this time.


Update: A new alert sent out to parents says Franklin is now on a "secure."

"During a Secure, normal operations are maintained within the campus and no individuals are allowed in or out of the facility," the alert explained.
