Clayton County school officials locked down the Brown Elementary School at 9771 Poston Road in Jonesboro.
“It is our understanding that [shooting suspect Brian Nichols] has relatives or that there is some family connection near the school and we just want to make sure our students are safe,� said school district spokesman Charles White.
