Brief lockout at Park Elementary School

Park Elementary School was under lockout for about 15 minutes Friday morning because of police activity in the area.

The lockout lasted from about 11:40 to 11:55 a.m., said Durango School District 9-R spokeswoman Julie Popp.

In a lockout, all exterior doors are locked, but activities continue in the school. In contrast, in a lockdown all activities in the school cease and everyone takes cover.

The cause of the lockout Friday occurred while police searched a room of a motel on East Eighth Street. Police were looking for a man involved in a car crash Thursday night or early Friday.
