A one-hour lockdown at five Evergreen Public Schools campuses has been lifted.
Vancouver police told the district shortly after 11 a.m. to close Burton Elementary School, the Early Childhood Center, Cascade Middle School and Legacy and Evergreen high schools. The lockdown was lifted at about noon.
Police received a report of shots fired and young males running in the area of Northeast 136th Avenue and Northeast 28th Street.
Kim Kapp, a police spokeswoman, said a K-9 unit searched the area. There were no reports of injuries or victims. Police have so far found no shell casings to indicate shots were in fact fired.
Kapp said it’s routine to put schools in lockdown while a K-9 unit is active nearby.
