Middle Tennessee Christian School went on lock-down while a K9 ran a track trying to locate the bank robber. 

The school lifted the lock-down, and dismissal proceeded on time.  Northfield Elementary School was in the process of dismissing, and the School Resource Officer stood guard until students safely boarded buses.

Murfreesboro Police are assisting the FBI with the investigation.
