3 fleeing robbery suspects caught in high school

-

Police captured three fleeing robbery suspects inside a Fort Worth high school where administra­tors say the trio dashed in through the main entrance but were quickly caught.

Clint Bond, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Independen­t School District, said nobody was hurt in Tuesday’s incident that prompted the lockdown of Polytechni­c High School. Bond said police reported one of the males had a gun. No shots were fired inside the school.

The district tweeted “Poly High School currently on lockdown because several unauthoriz­ed school aged males entered building. Students & staff are safe.” Bond said the incident happened around midmorning Tuesday after someone was robbed near campus and police were chasing the suspects. The lockdown ended around 11:30 a.m.
