Police were called to Broadway Elementary School late Tuesday morning after a staff member observed a suspicious person with erratic behavior outside of the school.

Another 9-1-1 call stated, “he was taking his shoes and socks off.”
Due to the situation, a hold-in-place with students and staff was taken as a precautionary measure.
