My wife just called and told me my kid’s school is on lockdown.

Here is the news story…

Police search for person who fled traffic stop; Rockfish Elementary locked down

Law enforcement authorities are searching the Afton area of Nelson County for two men they said fled from a Virginia State Trooper after a routine traffic stop earlier today.

Nelson County Sheriff David Brooks said a Virginia State Trooper made a traffic stop on a vehicle along Chapel Hollow Road and Bland Lane in Afton when, after pulling over to the side of the road, the vehicle struck the trooper’s car and three men ran from the vehicle.

One of the men was apprehended.

Corinne Geller, state police spokeswoman, said the search includes a helicopter due to the terrain.

“Right now he’s in the midst of it,” Geller said of the trooper handling the case.

Brooks said the two wanted men are described as a black male and Hispanic male. One was wearing a green jacket and one was wearing tan pants, he said.

Rockfish River Elementary School, along Va. 151 in Afton, has been put on lockdown and Nelson County Sheriff’s deputies have been on the property for the students’ safety, Brooks said.

I double-dog dare them to run into my yard.
