A Wayne County School went into lockdown this morning after gunshots were heard nearby.
Police say Louis Lowe fired gunshots near the Spring Valley Bridge this morning. Kellogg Elementary School immediately went into lockdown and pulled students off the playground.
Police say Lowe was just taking target practice in his own yard, but the noise startled neighbors. Investigators say he was not shooting at any person, but at a target. He will face a misdemeanor charge for firing the gun so close to homes and a school. Lowe tells WSAZ's Doug Korstanje he won't do this again.
Spring Valley Road was closed down and Kellogg Elementary went into lockdown for a short time. However, both are back open at this hour.
