Dear parents and guardians,

Alexandria Police department has thoroughly investigated the reports of a man
brandishing a weapon close to Maury Elementary School on Tuesday and have
come to the conclusion that the incident did not take place.

Given the number of weapons violations that occur at schools across the nation,
both Alexandria City Public Schools and the Police Department take reports of
this nature seriously and respond accordingly.

The Alexandria Police Department, along with Alexandria City Public Schools,
immediately responded to this incident and both agencies are pleased with the
quick resolution to a potentially dangerous situation.

The safety and security of our students remains a top priority and we want to
thank our staff and community for their support throughout this investigation.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.


Sincerely,



Alvin L. Crawley, Ed.D
