The Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts School went into lock down on Thursday afternoon, after a man was found shot to death in a van outside of the school.

The body was discovered around 1:30P.M. on Woodlawn Avenue, and Buffalo police have yet to identify the victim or his killer.

Staff at the school were asked to shield the students from the viewing the scene, and the buses were also re-routed to avoid the situation.
