ing to an

incident

taking place in Tewkesbury and Gloucestershire. Our home and security editor, Mark White, in the studies with more details. Check what is happening. This is Tewksbury School or Tewksbury Academy as it is also known on Ash Church Road in Tewkesbury, an

incident

currently involving all three

emergency

services

on the scene there and that

school

, that secondary

school

is now closed, there is a report of an injury, but we don't know more than that at this time, but this school and a neighboring elementary school have also been closed and in fact, the neighboring elementary schools, Terrell Brook Elementary School, posted on Facebook just in the last hour saying dear families and that incidents occurred this morning at Tewksbury Academy Tewksbury school and we have been Tewksbury Police have advised us to put a

lockdown

in place.

We have a police presence at the school and we are receiving full support at this time. They continue watching. We would like to assure all families that the children of Tollbrook and Little Oaks are safe and healthy. We must ask families to tell them not to come to school during this time as it could compromise the police operation that is currently underway. They say that during this situation all school staff will support the children and contact the police, so we will ask them. Don't try to contact the school office, so it's from this neighboring elementary school.

There is still nothing from the Tewksbury school. Tewksbury Academy is still at the center of a

lockdown

that we believe is still in effect. It is quite common that we see lockdowns in schools. In the United States we don't have them here often, thank goodness. What kind of situations could result in a school being closed? Mark, well, certainly in the United States it is common and it is usually related to school shootings, unfortunately, it is very common, as we see in In the US here, more recently, you know that every time a school faces such a situation, it can often be as a result of a stabbing incident or a threat against the school, perhaps on rare occasions a shooting, but we are not in a position to look exactly, there are unconfirmed reports that exist, We'd just like to dig a little deeper before giving you that information, but a serious incident is developing with police asking both the academy and the nearby primary school to lock down. while they deal with this incident.

I also know it has gone quite well because I used to work in

gloucestershire

. It is a charming little market town. Yes, 20,000 people. And as you can see, it's a beautiful little one. Very popular with tourists. Also, of course, any incident involving a lockdown will be shocking, it will be very worrying for family members who have people, children who attend these schools, we can't see much more than what came out of primary school, nothing until the moment. from the academy of this secondary school in the center of this lockdown, but Mark, you will be with us as soon as they need you, as soon as we have more, I will be right back and it seems like good news that the schools are saying that the children are safe Well, we don't know for sure, we know that the elementary students say they keep the kids safe, but we haven't heard anything from the academy associate, okay, thanks.
