LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A fire official says repairs have begun on a broken gas main and a lockdown has been lifted for some 3,400 students at two northwest Las Vegas schools.
Las Vegas fire spokesman Tim Szymanski says no injuries were reported after a backhoe digging in the area hit a two-inch gas main about 8:40 a.m. at Buffalo Drive and Farm Road.
Police, fire and school officials ordered a lockdown for students at Arbor View High School and Betsy Rhodes Elementary School as a precaution.
Szymanski says an evacuation order is also being lifted for nearby homes and businesses.
