Police investigation in Kettering prompts brief lockdown at middle school

A report of a person with a gun at a home near Van Buren Middle School resulted in a brief lockdown at the school while Kettering police investigated Friday morning.

“The emergency call did not have anything to do with our school directly,” read a statement from Van Buren Middle School Principal Matthew Salyer. “However, the proximity of the response to our school’s location created a lockdown procedure.”
