Waianae Intermediate School placed its campus on a “soft lockdown” earlier this morning due to the heavy law enforcement presence, according to a letter from the principal.

A “soft lockdown” means staff and students were kept indoors in the event of an actual emergency, and was put in place as a precautionary measure.

The lockdown was lifted it at 11:55 a.m. upon consultation and advice from HPD, said the principal in a followup letter.
