3 SVUSD schools are currently still on lock down. Hillside Middle School is included and was the first school locked down this morning.

Hey Derek Bell in “SKY9″, the Law Enforcement helicopter is from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Dept., the cops on the ground are Simi Valley P.D. Not Sheriff’s, and there’s no such thing as the “Ventura County Police”. Get your facts and agencies straight or go back to L.A.!

Awesome. Picking my kid up from school should be interesting… let alone trying to get to my house which is in the locked down neighborhood.
