Everything is back to normal after some tense moments at schools in Opp.
Police say a man possibly made a threat to an employee at Opp Elementary school. That led to a two hour lockdown at Opp's elementary, middle school and high schools Monday.
Investigators say the call to lockdown the schools was made because the man who allegedly made the threat was believed to have a gun.
Police identify the suspect as Christopher Kip Jacobs. We're told he is related to the school employee who was threatened. Police say he was out of jail on bond pending domestic violence charges.
