Lyon County School District released a statement Wednesday after a precautionary lock-in was lifted at Dayton Elementary, Intermediate and High schools that the individual seen near the sites was a Lyon County employee with a pellet gun attempting to address an issue related to squirrels.
Students and staff were in no danger at any time, according to the release.
The schools were placed in lock-in mode as a precautionary measure in the morning while Lyon County Sheriff’s Office and administration responded to calls of the individual seen with a firearm.
