A fatal shooting led to the lockout of five Westchester County school districts Tuesday.

Tarrytown, Irvington, Hastings-on-Hudson, Elmsford and Dobbs Ferry schools were on lockout -- meaning students could not go outside -- due to the police search in the area for the gunman.

The incident started around 7:15 a.m., police said a woman was fatally shot at the Sleepy Hollow Gardens apartment complex on Route 119 in Tarrytown.

The suspect fled the area.

The lockouts were precautionary, and authorities said there was no threat inside the schools.
