Police say he stopped at the dead end on Edgehill Drive, bailing out of the car and fleeing on foot. Investigators say they recovered a machete and a pellet gun from inwards the stolen vehicle, but they believed the suspect was armed with another weapon, possibly a gun, when he fled.
Authorities searched for the suspect, now identified as 23-year-old John Holomon Russell, using patrol officers, K-9 units and a helicopter. A resident provided officers with an picture of the suspect captured on their home security camera, and that photo was broadcast to the public.

Parents of students say they received phone calls alerting them the situation. Climb on Eagle and Cameron Run Elementary Schools were placed on “Secure the Building Status,” meaning doors were locked and the staff remained inwards.
