Deputies search for suspect in England Run domestic incident as middle school placed on secure posture
STAFFORD, VA – A domestic-related investigation in the England Run area triggered a law enforcement search for a suspect Tuesday, prompting nearby Gayle Middle School to be placed on a secure posture out of precaution, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies are actively working the ongoing situation and have released a photo of the individual they are seeking in connection to the incident. Specific details regarding the domestic incident have not been released, and the identity of the suspect has not yet been made public.
As a safety measure, Gayle Middle School was placed on secure status, meaning the building remained locked with no outside access while school activities continued as normal inside. The secure posture is a precaution and not due to a direct threat to the school, officials said.
