HUTCHINSON– Law enforcement authorities in Reno County responded to an emergency call that prompted a brief school lockdown on the south side of Hutchinson on Tuesday.

Hutchinson Police Captain Troy Hoover said just after noon officers the report of an armed individual in the 300 Block of East Bigger Street.

The call prompted Lincoln Elementary School going into lock down.

Hoover said the woman called saying a man with a gun and knife at her home.

Police had trouble communicating with the woman because she spoke very little English, according to Hoover.

Police brought in an interpreter allowing them to get more information.

They determined the man was in the home and when they made contact with him, they discovered he had no weapons.

Apparently the two had an argument leading to her making that call.
No one was in any danger at the school or elsewhere as a result of the incident, which remains under investigation.
