For the second time in a month, schools were locked down yesterday, and officials decided to extend the lock-down for the rest of the year, said Board of Education executive director of operations Fred Oliver.

Six students were injured in a shooting at Heritage High School in Conyers Thursday morning.

"No threats have been received; however, we are taking every precaution to safeguard our students," said a press release from the Board of Education.

Oliver said school principals are being asked to have teachers and administrators patrol the halls, and school doors will be locked until sessions end for the summer June 4.
