WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A West Valley City elementary school was placed under secure protocol on Tuesday afternoon due to police activity nearby.
Farnsworth Elementary School was placed under the secure protocol designation under the direction of local police as officers attempted to take a domestic violence suspect into custody about six houses away from the school.
Because the man refused to come out of the home, the school was placed under secure protocol. However, he has since been taken into custody and the security measures at the school were lifted.
Under secure protocol procedures, students and staff are brought into the school building, and all exterior doors are locked as activities continue as normal inside. Parents and visitors are not allowed inside the school until the protocol is lifted.
