FRIENDSWOOD, Texas (AP) _ A police foot chase of burglary suspects through a Houston suburb prompted lockdowns at five nearby schools.
The Clear Creek school district ordered the lockdowns after a home burglary was reported in a Friendswood neighborhood shortly after 1 p.m.
Friendswood police spokeswoman Karen Peterson tells the Houston Chronicle that the suspects fled in a car, then stopped and fled on foot. One suspect was quickly caught, but two others eluded capture until about 3 p.m. One was armed with a handgun.
Once the arrests were made, the lockdowns were lifted at Clear Brook High School, Westbrook Intermediate School and Greene, Landolt and Wedgewood elementary schools. There were no incidents at the schools.
Friendswood is 22 miles southeast of Houston.
