All the surrounding mobile homes and homes were told to evacuate as a safety precaution.

Due to the report of shots being fired the Houston County SRT team was called out and because at that time the kids had not yet came out they could have been dealing with a possible hostage situation.  A ambulance from Pilcher’s was dispatched to stand by just in case someone was injured.
