Parents have praised the quick actions of a primary school after it went into lockdown.
Merseyside Police confirmed officers were in attendance at St Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School in Kirkby today. It was reported to police at around 3.15pm that there was a dispute between a group of men outside the school.
One parent told the ECHO that the school's shutters came down and "no kids were coming out" as he waited for his child to finish. He said: "Some of the parents were in proper floods of tears. He added: "It was unnerving because I was separated from the kids."
