Arguing parents spur school lockdown

Grafton Kennedy Elementary School was hosting a community picnic today when two female parents entered into a shouting match outside of the building.

David Jackson, Northridge Local Schools superintendent, was at the picnic when the incident began. He said the women started cussing at each other and threatening one another.

Police were called, and Grafton Kennedy Principal Jennifer Schmidlapp put the school on lockdown until the police arrived.

“The principal decided it was better to be safe than sorry,” said Jackson, noting he did not know of any previous trouble with these women.

Jackson said the police took statements and nobody was arrested. He said the lockdown lasted about 10 minutes.

“Everything is back to normal,” he said. “We will be dismissing as usual.”

Grafton Kennedy is at 2655 Wagner Ford Road in Dayton.

Heavy rain possible late today, early Friday

Rain is expected in the Miami Valley after the evening commute Thursday night.

Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Jamie Simpson said rain will get heavier around midnight and into early Friday.

“Thunderstorms are also likely, but the threat of any severe storms should stay south of the area,” Simpson said. He also indicated more severe weather is possible in Cincinnati and some of Butler County.

“Some locations may pick up a good half inch to perhaps an inch at most by morning,” he said. 

 Steady rain should be exiting the area to the east around sunrise, but “we’ll stay cloudy all day with a few lighter showers redeveloping in the afternoon and lasting into early evening,” Simpson said. 

Temperatures fall Friday and will be in the low 60s early to the mid- to upper- 50s by day’s end. 

“Right now the weekend looks to be fairly cloudy on Saturday with more scattered showers late afternoon into evening,” he said. “More sun is expected Sunday, but an afternoon shower can’t be ruled out.”

Most will stay dry Sunday. 

Highs this weekend will be near 70 degrees on Saturday and near 75 degrees on Sunday.

Fire victim in hospital 'key' to investigation

Fire investigators hope to speak with the grandmother who survived the house fire that killed her daughter early Wednesday morning.

The fatal fire that occurred early Wednesday morning in the 2400 block of Germantown Street continues to be under investigation.

The surviving victim, whose name has not been released, remains in the intensive care unit and has not been able to communicate, said Dayton Fire Chief Herbert Redden.

The cause of the fire that took the life of the surviving victim's daughter, 62-year-old Eunice Twitty, is undetermined.

Investigators have questions to which the surviving victim may be the only person with answers, Redden said.

"She holds the key to a lot of things we want to find out," he said. "She's the only one who was in the house who is still alive."

Neighbors told fire officials they heard a smoke detector going off in the house shortly before the fire was reported.

When fire crews arrived, the two women were found near the front door, which indicates they were trying to exit the home, officials said.

A damage estimate was not available Thursday.
