Two Charleston Schools Locked Down During Nearby Domestic Incident

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Burke High School and Charleston Developmental Academy are on lockdown, and Line and Allway streets are closed to traffic, as police respond Tuesday to a domestic disturbance involving weapons in Charleston.

The situation began shortly before 9 a.m. at an apartment at the corner of Flood Street and Line Street, according to Charleston Police Dept. public information officer Charles Francis.

Police are trying to determine if the male involved in the domestic situation is still in the apartment, along with anyone else, Francis says.

The public is asked to avoid the area, and drivers to find alternate routes around the closed streets.
