Peninsula school goes into lockdown

MOSES LAKE – Peninsula Elementary School in Moses Lake was locked down for about five minutes Wednesday while police officers were chasing a suspect nearby.

About five minutes after the lockdown began police notified district officials that the suspect had been apprehended and the school resumed regular operation, she said
