Lexington ISD was hosting a home basketball game in the high school gym at the time of the shots fired report. Lexington Police and Milam County Sheriff's Office were working security for the game, and the gym was placed on lockdown out of an abundance of caution due to the close proximity to the disturbance scene. After the suspect was detained and the scene was rendered safe, the lockdown was released.
The safety and security of our citizens and guests is our top priority. I am proud of the outstanding teamwork of our local law enforcement partners in bringing quick resolve to this incident.
