Gold Coast school locked down, students safe, as police hunt for gunman
A Gold Coast primary school has been locked down as police hunt a man believed to be armed with a gun.
Officers declared a Public Safety Preservation Act covering the Ormeau State School and parts of Ormeau on Tuesday morning.
The lockdown covers Mirambeena Dr, Wharf Rd, Pimpama Jacobs Well Rd and Creek St.
Ormeau State School posted that students were safe.
“Please be advised children are safe, have had their lunch and are working in their rooms,” a post on the school’s Facebook page said.
“Our SMS carrier had some delay in sending the messages and we have now sent it twice as well as an email.
“We will keep you updated to the best of our knowledge – no updates at this time.”
Police have been hunting a man since a domestic violence incident at nearby Upper Coomera on Monday night.
Officers say no one was physically harmed in the incident at a home on Gannon Way.
