DECATUR, Ga. -- Two schools in Decatur were placed on lockdown after police apprehended several teenagers who attempted to gain entry to Decatur High School.

The incident happened at about 3 p.m. Thursday. The schools lifted the lockdown after an hour.

Deputy Police Chief Keith Lee said about 30 teens were involved. He said officers detained eight of the would-be intruders, including one who had ammunition in his pockets.

The others, according to Lee, ran from police.

Renfroe Middle School, which is nearby, was also put on lockdown as a precaution.

No one was hurt.

Police have not determined why the teens tried to enter the high school.
