A coyote was sighted Tuesday in Yorktown.

The Yorktown Police Department's animal control unit was called in and responded to the Benjamin Franklin Elementary School where the coyote was spotted. School officials say they opted to bring the outdoor classes and activities indoors at Ben Franklin Elementary and Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School as a precaution as police were searching the area.

The coyote was not found.

School officials told parents that at no time were any students or staff members at risk. They say teachers, teachers aides and other school officials have been put on alert and plan to keep an eye out for the coyote.

Coyotes are typically nocturnal, but wildlife experts say it's not unusual to see them during daytime hours.

Yorktown Police Thursday are seeking to calm the public following the town's first murder in more than 15 years. Yorktown Police Lieutenant Kevin Soravilla said residents in the quiet suburban community need not panic.

He says the death of 43 year old Piotr Seweryn was not a home invasion. Rather, he says, the victim, who was shot once in the head was likely targeted, for reasons police have not yet disclosed.

Seweryn's wife Krystyn made the gruesome discovery around 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the basement of their home at 3210 Poplar Street.
