The Times-News describes the facility as the CVS Plaza on Locust Street in Nesquehoning.
Police were able to get a description of one of the alleged assailants:
- White male
- Gray beard
- Wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jacket
The search includes police from Nesquehoning, Jim Thorpe, Lansford, and a State Police helicopter.
The Panther Valley Elementary School nearby was under what they call a “white lockdown” until just after 2 p.m. School officials say students there will be dismissed on time with additional security in place.
Under a “white lockdown”, the following measures are taken for student safety:
- Classes continue, lunch served
- Students can’t move through building without adult escort
- Blinds are shut
- Visitors must have proper ID to enter school
- Indoor recess
