After the complainant confronted the two men, it was reported to police that one may have had a weapon. The incident led to a “suspended schedule” at Glenbrook North and a “soft lockdown” at Maple School. GBN Principal Dr. John L. Finan described the decision as a “precautionary measure due to a police incident at nearby business” in an email sent to parents. Under a suspended schedule, the school does not allow anyone to enter or exit the building, according to Finan. The suspended schedule was lifted at approximately 2:45 p.m., according to Finan. Thomas Moore, a spokesperson for the Northbrook Police Department, said the incident is still under investigation, and it is not yet known if one of the subjects was armed.
