Three schools in Marysville were placed in lockdown Monday morning after a carjacking suspect’s car was found near the middle school.
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office says a white Chevy Silverado was stolen at gunpoint on SR 520 at Ebey Slough at about 7 a.m.
The truck was discovered unoccupied about 90 minutes later near the Marysville Middle School. A K-9 unit was not able to track the suspect, who is described as being a white or light skinned Hispanic male in his early 20’s with a thin build.
The Marysville School District says Liberty Elementary School, Marysville Middle School, and Totem Middle School were locked down while police searched the area for the suspect.
“All students are safe,” the district said.
Some students on buses were re-routed to the district service center until the lockdown concluded at 10:15 a.m.
