A domestic situation forced Oakland Middle and High Schools to be placed on lockdown Thursday morning. Murfreesboro Police spokesman Kyle Evans tells WGNS that officers responded to 2583 Exeter Drive around 8am. There, a male subject was seen running from the area by police. Officers were told the subject was possibly armed with a knife or some type of cutting instrument and was seen running toward the Oakland schools. While searching the area, the subject was located at 2118 Patriot Drive and taken into custody by M-P-D. Evans says the domestic violence incident is being investigated.
