Schools in Search Area Resume Regular Operations

Students at Campbell Park Elementary, Melrose Elementary and John Hopkins Middle will report to their regularly assigned schools today and normal operations will be followed.

The schools had been closed Tuesday, as police searched for the suspect in the shooting death of Police Officer David Crawford. Students were sent to other schools for the day.

On Tuesday evening, police arrested 16-year-old Nicholas Lemmon Lindsay. The teenager came to police headquarters with his parents. Police say that after two hours of questioning, he admitted to the crime. He was booked into a juvenile detention facility.

The shooting occurred at 2nd Avenue South and 8th Street South, and prompted a large-scale manhunt. Schools were closed and roads blocked for most of Tuesday.

Today, all roads are back to normal. The St. Petersburg School District has resumed regular bus transportation at stops in the previously restricted area between 5^th Ave. S and 15^th Ave. S. and between 4^th St. S. and 16^th St. S.
