Ransom Middle Placed On Lockdown

February 7, 2017

Escambia County’s largest middle school was placed on lockdown this afternoon due to nearby law enforcement activity, according to Assistant Superintendent Norm Ross.

Ransom Middle School was place on “Code Red” lockdown, and the school is secure, Ross said. Officials were working with law enforcement to ensure a safe dismissal.

Law enforcement was seen surrounding and canvassing a neighborhood not far from the school in an apparent hunt for William Boyette and Mary Rice.

    And the cops couldn’t bother to warn the people in this area that there was a possible sighting…
