A lockdown has been lifted at four schools in Keene, N.H. after the suspect, who was allegedly walking around the area with a gun, turned himself in to police.
A Keene police dispatcher said the man walked into the police department lobby just before 10 a.m. and was arrested.
The suspect was seen near Park and Maple avenues this morning, police said.
The high school, middle school, and two elementary schools in the area were locked down, but classes continued during the incident, according to Keene Schools Superintendent William Gerney’s office.
Keene has a total of seven schools with an enrollment of about 3,500 students, according to state records.
