New details on the shots fired near Holloway Elementary Monday reveal an unoccupied car on campus was hit by gunfire.
In total, six unoccupied vehicles were hit by gunfire while Holloway was in session. Police said five of those were in front of a home at the intersection of Caton Avenue and Hart Avenue, right where carline forms.
Police said shots were fired around 1:30 p.m., about an hour and a half before dismissal. The proximity to the school appeared to be about a football field’s distance away.MCPSS Board member Johnny Hatcher said the school did the right thing, and no children were outside at the time of gunfire. “They went into action immediately,” said Hatcher. “They secured the school. They made sure the children were safe. They did a phenomenal job. They stayed in touch with the police and did everything that was asked of them.”“The last thing you want to do is notify these parents immediately while it is going on,” said Hatcher. “They will rush to that school. It will be a mad rush, and somebody could end up getting hurt that way.
Hatcher said the school was in secure perimeter for about an hour and dismissed as usual at 2:50 p.m.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are. Available free in the
