 All Jackson Public Schools will be closed Friday.

Jackson High School was put on lockdown Thursday around 1:45 p.m. after bullets hit a couple of school rooms through the windows. There were students inside and fortunately, no one was injured.

Bullets struck two ground level windows on the south side of the building. Police believe that each window was struck one time. The windows were for two different classrooms, which were side by side.

The Jackson police believe that the shots originated from the Renaissance Apartments nearby.

School officials originally diverted the buses away form the school, but eventually were able to lift the lockdown and send the kids home on time at 2:20 PM.

The investigation is ongoing.
