Police got the report at around 8:40AM. All Elmore County Schools were notified, according to Eclectic Police Chief Richard Head.
Elmore County High School is near downtown Eclectic, and police were concerned that the juveniles might have been connected to the school or would eventually go onto campus. A search of the campus turned up nothing. ALEA, the Tallassee and Wetumpka police departments and the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office are all helping with the investigation.“We just ask people to still just be vigilant. Contact us. Don’t approach them. Please contact us. We will identify them and go from there,” he told WAKA 8.
The two juveniles are described as Black males, about 15 years old. Police say one was wearing a red hoodie. The other was dressed in all-black with a black hat and backpack.
