LORAIN, Ohio -- All Lorain City Schools are on lockdown Thursday morning, while police search for a "possible perpetrator," a school spokeswoman said.

"Earlier this morning district officials were notified of a possible perpetrator in our district," school district spokeswoman Erin Gadd said. "All buildings have been placed on lockdown as an added precaution while the Lorain Police Department conducts their investigation."

Gadd said most of the district's school buildings are less than 10 years old and have the latest security measures in place to keep students safe.

Lorain police did not answer any questions about the lockdown and said that the office expects to release additional information later in the day.
