A lockdown that occurred after a note was found in a bathroom in Pana has been lifted. The lockdown occurred at Pana High School and was lifted at 3:15 PM. Superintendent Jason Bauer announced that everyone is safe and things are back to normal. Students were dismissed at regular time but there will be an increased police presence.
The high school girl's basketball game against Taylorville and the junior high boy's basketball game against Vandalia will still take place as scheduled tonight. Girls basketball will begin with the freshman game at 5:00 followed by JV and varsity. Boys basketball will begin with the 7th grade game at 6:00 followed by the 8th grade game.
Bauer says he's grateful to the area law enforcement personnel including the Pana Police Department; Moweaqua Police Department, Christian County Sheriff's Office, and the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.
