Gates, New York — As police investigate a threat Wednesday morning, officials at the Gates Chili Central School District have placed all schools on lockout.
All schools in the district will be under lockout status until further notice, according to a series of tweets released by the district.
No one is allowed to enter or exit buildings until the lockout is lifted.
