Four Kailua schools locked down during search for armed burglary suspect
Four schools in Kailua were briefly locked down this morning while police hunted an armed burglary suspect, a scare that ended safely with an arrest.
- Police searched the Keolu neighborhood mid-morning after a burglary suspect ran off and was spotted carrying a gun.
- Keolu Elementary, Enchanted Lake Elementary, Keolumana Preschool, and St. John Vianney School all went into precautionary lockdown.
- The lockdowns were a safety measure, not a sign of any threat inside the schools.
- The suspect was arrested and every lockdown was lifted.
Outlook: Classes are back to normal, with the case now moving to charges against the person in custody.
