ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Extra security has been dispatched to an Albuquerque elementary school a day after authorities searched a nearby neighborhood following reports of an active shooter.
The beefed up security presence Tuesday follows a tense afternoon when the school was placed on lockdown and parents had to wait for hours to pick up children.
The school was on lockdown after police received reports of a man with a rifle and handgun. Sandia National Laboratories and nearby businesses also were locked down for a nearly four-hour manhunt.
The unknown man reportedly fired shots outside the Emcore Corp. No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made.
Albuquerque police spokesman Tanner Tixier says detectives Tuesday were looking for any new evidence at the scene.
