SEATTLE, Wash. — The Seattle Police Department is investigating after a bullet flew through a second-story window at Nova High School Thursday afternoon.
Officers say it happened just after 1:30 p.m.
No one was hurt and police are unsure whether the school was the intended target, but police did say that there were cars in the area that left the scene at the time.
There was no word if it was a classroom window or if anyone was inside at the time.
Nova High School and Garfield High School, which is nearby, were placed into lockdown for about an hour.
Those lockdowns have both since been lifted.
Police say more than a dozen shell casings were found on 25th Avenue.
“Some kids were banging on the door kind of frantically,” said instructional assistant Maurice Taylor. “We let them in and they said somebody was shooting and then it went through one of the windows.”
