NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The High School for Humanities in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood reopened after going into lockdown Thursday afternoon in response to shots fired nearby.
Police announced the school was deemed safe enough to re-open about an hour after the initial lockdown announcement on Twitter just after 2:30 p.m.
No school staff or students were injured, according to the NYPD.
The school is located on West 18th Street near 9th Avenue.
The lockdown comes a little over a week after the third most deadly school shooting in the nation’s history at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
The massacre has school districts and parents across the country nervous at the potential for violence and searching for answers as to how to protect children from mass shootings.
