Police blocked off part of a busy road for a large investigation Monday morning.
Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach spotted multiple police vehicles along Marbut Road not far from Lithonia High School. Channel 2 Action News has reached out to DeKalb County police, who said they were called out to a barricaded subject.
The suspect is now in custody, as of 9:30 a.m., police said.
DeKalb County Schools confirmed to Channel 2 that it placed Lithonia High School on a Level 1 lockdown, which is the lowest level.
