Burlington High School was locked down for a half hour Friday afternoon when a student in a mental health crisis wielded a pipe and refused to obey school officials, according to Burlington Police.
A school staff member notified the department’s school resource officer of the incident at 12:16 p.m.
Students were placed in a “lock and hold” protocol during the event for approximately 30 minutes as a precautionary measure, according to police.
Officers from the Burlington Police Department and the Racine County Sheriff’s Department located the student within the school, and he was taken into custody without incident.
There were no injuries to any student, staff or responding officers, according to police officials.
“This was an isolated event, and no other threats were found,” police officials said in a news release. “School resumed daily activities following the event.”
