A "police incident" has led to lockdowns at Westmoreland County Community College's New Kensington campus and Valley Jr-Sr High School. A WPXI report confirms the lockdown was initiated due to an ongoing situation.
The nature of the incident has not been disclosed, but the presence of injuries has been acknowledged. A WTAE report indicated multiple individuals have been transported to local hospitals, and a Sky 4 helicopter captured a SWAT team's arrival as well as multiple emergency vehicles nearby.
Local officials, including the superintendent of the New Kensington-Arnold District, have confirmed the safety measures taken at the educational institutions, ensuring the lockdown protocols are in place to protect students and staff. The extent of the injuries or the condition of those affected by the incident remains unclear as updates are awaited.
