RawNews1st – School just started and a gunman tried to break into El mirage school,causing parents too pull up with guns and be arrested.
Lt. Jimmy Chavez with El Mirage police released a description of the suspect. He was described as a Black or dark-skinned Hispanic man with a tattoo on his head.
He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and black shorts.
Staff members at Thompson Ranch Elementary School called 911 around 10:30 a.m. to report a suspicious man who was trying to get in the building.
The building was immediately placed on lockdown. As officers arrived, police say the suspect ran away towards the river bottom.
El Mirage police and other nearby law enforcement agencies quickly responded and began searching the school and surrounding areas.
According to Chavez, parents started showing up after receiving calls from their kids. Chavez says the school was still on lockdown, and officers told parents they wouldn’t be let in the school.
This is when some parents became confrontational with police, with some saying they were going to come in to protect their kids.
