LAFAYETTE, La. — Northside High School was on lockdown Tuesday afternoon after shots were fired in the area.

Police say there were no injuries, but some bullet holes were found in a house. They went to the 200 block of Chester Street to investigate a report of shots fired.

The area where the shots were heard is a couple of blocks from the school, so police placed Northside on lockdown to be sure the kids are safe, a spokesperson said.

The lockdown has been lifted and the students were dismissed and allowed to board their buses safely.

Police have no suspects at this time. If anyone has information about the incident they are asked to call Lafayette Crime Stoppers at 337-232-TIPS.
