Roads closed near Warner Robins

The City of Warner Robins said roads surrounding the school were closed because of an active incident. Demon Valley Road and S. Davis Drive were among the closed roads, and motorists were urged to avoid the area unless they were following student pickup procedures provided by the Houston County Board of Education or law enforcement.

The City of Warner Robins also said it was assisting the Houston County School District and the Houston County Sheriff’s Office. That left the area around the school under a live response, with traffic rerouted while officers remained on scene.

WGXA said it was still working on details and had contacted the school district and law enforcement for more information. The report did not say whether anyone was injured, whether anyone was taken into custody, or what led to the reported shooting.

For people trying to get near the school, the practical step was to stay away from Demon Valley Road and S. Davis Drive unless they were part of the pickup process directed by the school district or officers. The response stayed active and ongoing Wednesday afternoon.
