High school locked down after 'miscommunication'

Rome High School was locked down for a few minutes this morning because of a miscommunication between the middle and high school, according to Rome City Schools Superintendent Gayland Cooper.

The high school locked down temporarily after someone saw what turned out to be a World War II veteran in the parking lot with a plugged rifle in his hands. The vet was heading inside Rome Middle School to talk to a social studies class about his experiences during the war.

"It was unfortunate that it happened, but we did exactly what we were supposed to do," Cooper said.

After contacting the middle school, high school officials lifted the lockdown and continued on their regular schedule.

"It was really nothing, but it was good practice," Cooper said.
