Lockdown lifted at Brentwood Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Brentwood Magnet Elementary School went on a Code Red lockdown because of a security concern Wednesday.

The school said "all students are safe," but no one was allowed to enter or exit the building while the lockdown was in place, according to information on the school's website.

The Code Red lockdown started around 11:30 a.m. and was changed to a Code Green just before 12:30 p.m.

School officials said parents could pick their students up early if they wanted, but they asked for patience as they worked to accommodate everyone.
