A shooting in Forney led to the closure of two schools Wednesday.
The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office says it was called to Falcon Way, between North Forney High School and Smith Intermediate, at 3:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Investigators found a man who had been "shot several times and was deceased at the location."
Forney ISD has confirmed a letter was sent to parents Wednesday morning saying all classes and events at the two schools would be canceled.
"Law enforcement agencies are currently working an incident off-campus that is blocking a large area of roadway around North Forney High and Smith Intermediate for an indefinite amount of time today. Access to the two campuses will be restricted due to the ongoing police investigation," the letter reads.
The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office says the victim has not been identified, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified.
