Police Presence Near Elementary School

Police are investigating an incident in the area of Dr. Norman W. Crisp Elementary School this afternoon that prompted early rumors of a lock down at the school.

Nashua School District Assistant Superintendent Jen Seusing said Dr. Crisp was never in "lock down."

"I have very limited information, but whatever the situation was, I'm told it was contained to one house and did not involve family members or students of Dr. Crisp," Seusing said.

Initial reports of a search for a person of interest in the area was broadcast by emergency radio operators, and a strong police presence was quickly in place in the area of Newbury and Bowers streets.

Dr. Crisp is located at 50 Arlington St., within a block or two of where police were staging.

Nashua Police confirmed that an incident had occurred, but would not release any particulars, except to say that the situation was deemed "under control," as of about 2:30 p.m., although police and fire personnel remained at the scene. 

We'll follow up with more information as soon as we can confirm the details.
