UPDATE:
KMTV has obtained a copy of the email Millard Public Schools sent to parents:
" Parents and Guardians,
Millard North was contacted by the Douglas County Sheriff this morning shortly after 7:30 AM. Reportedly, a suspect shot out some windows at the apartments across the street following a disturbance at an overnight party. The armed suspect is at large, and we have no reason to believe that Millard North is a target. We are cooperating with local law enforcement officials, and we are following our Lock-down procedures until further notice. We will keep you posted. Thank you."
UPDATE:
A neighbor at Pacific West Apartments, near 141st and Pierce streets, says she heard about three gunshots around 6:30 a.m.
Police are investigating the scene where a glass sliding door appears to have been shot out. Investigators are also looking for evidence in a nearby garage unit.
