After consultation with the Muskogee Police Department, the lockdown has been lifted for Muskogee High School. The lockdown began at 11:35 a.m. on Monday.

Muskogee Police say a chase from Fort Gibson ended just east of the school, and the suspect bailed out of the car. Law enforcement set up a perimeter in the area to search for him, so the school was put into lockdown until the situation was resolved.

They say the suspect has felony warrants out for his arrest but have not provided any other information at this time.

During events like this Muskogee Public Schools says they do everything they can to keep parents updated using their website, social media, and robocalls.
