The family of a man arrested after entering Eastchester High School triggering a lockdown earlier wants a fired security guard to get their job back.
The family says the 19-year-old has autism, which may explain why he ran into the high school as police responded to reports of a man oddly walking on White Plains Road.
A woman who News 12 is identifying as Kathy because she wishes to remain anonymous held up a sign outside the high school Friday morning in hopes the district would rehire the security guard, who buzzed the 19-year-old into the high school Wednesday - triggering a lockdown.
