EVESHAM, NJ- DeMasi Middle School entered a shelter-in-place status Thursday afternoon shortly before dismissal. The students were not allowed to leave the school at dismissal.

The cause of the shelter-in-place was due to a nearby crash between a pedestrian and a motor vehicle.

At no time were students in the school in any danger, according to police, but the order was given to provide a medevac helicopter landing zone on the school property.

“The school was used as a safe landing zone location to medevac the victim to Cooper Hospital for treatment.  Additional information to follow,” the Evesham Police Department said.

Once the helicopter cleared the scene, students were dismissed without incident.
