LSC-Alert. EMERGENCY: Emergency at LSC-MONTGOMERY. LOCKDOWN NOW. Go to nearest room and lock the door. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

This text has been reconstructed from news coverage and may not reflect the exact original wording.

Reconstructed from Lone Star College's documented lockdown template (verbatim-confirmed in other LSC cases) with the campus name set to 'LSC-MONTGOMERY'; marked unconfirmed because no archived copy of this specific alert was located.
Click2Houston quoted the instruction to 'go to the nearest room and lock the door,' which matches the standard LSC template wording reflected here.
The alert gave a shelter instruction without naming Lot 2 or the gun report that prompted it.
Context

Background

Lone Star College–Montgomery, in Conroe, Texas, is part of the multi-campus Lone Star College System served by the shared LoneStarCollegeAlert platform. Around 11:30 a.m. on April 21, 2022, the campus went on lockdown after a report of two men arguing in Lot 2, one of them armed with a gun, according to Click2Houston. Those on campus were told to go to the nearest room and lock the door. FOX 26 Houston reported the lockdown lasted roughly 15 minutes before being lifted, that a suspect was taken into custody, and that no shots were fired. The verbatim text shown here is reconstructed from Lone Star College's standardized lockdown template, which is verbatim-confirmed in other cases in this archive.
