Statement from Alief ISD: <\/p>\n
Dear Alief ISD community,<\/p>\n
Cummings Elementary was on lockdown this morning due to an unidentified, non-Alief ISD male on the roof. <\/p>\n
First responders successfully removed him from the facility, and a local law enforcement agency will transport him. <\/p>\n
Students and staff who were in the building during the incident were safe. The investigation is completed, the lockdown has been lifted, and the day will continue as scheduled. <\/p>\n
Thank you to our Alief ISD Police Department, local law enforcement agencies, and the Cummings Elementary staff for their support. <\/p>\n
