Salmon Bay Elementary and Ballard High School were locked down this morning after there was a report of a man with a gun seen in the area.
A witness reported that a man ran through a construction site near the school and fell down. He dropped and picked up a gun then ran through the Salmon Bay campus.
The man was described as being around 20-years-old, thin, about 5’7, with long blonde hair and wearing a green jacket.
The schools were locked down around 9:30 a.m. while police investigated the report and searched the area.
For safety precautions a “shelter in place” was in affect at Adams Elementary School.
SPD reported that there was "no indication of risk,” and school have since resumed their normal daily schedule.
