There will be extra patrols during school hours and the doors are locked at the Da Vinci Institute High School, which is on the JCC campus. A JCC spokesperson did not reveal the man’s identity but said he was not enrolled at JCC.

It took two days for word of the incident to get to administrators at the high school and the college.
JCC has a picture of the man and is seeking a restraining order against him. The school has asked that the ABC Academy daycare located on campus keep all children inside until further notice. JCC sent out a security alert informing all students and employees of the incident and advising them to report suspicious behavior.
