Gunman who triggered lockdown at Irving school turned out to be officer serving warrant, police say
An armed man seen in the parking lot of an Irving middle school on Thursday turned out to be a law enforcement officer serving a warrant for murder, Irving police said Friday.
"We want to inform everyone that there was never a threat to Austin Middle School," Irving police said Friday in a news release.
The school on Union Bower Road was locked down before classes started after a parent called 911 around 7 a.m. because she saw a man with a rifle and possibly a handgun in the school parking lot.
Police searched the school and did not find a suspect or a weapon, and the school was declared safe while a secondary search of the area was conducted.
