DOUGLAS COUNTY—Law enforcement have made an arrest after a suspect threatened violence to a school in Lawrence.
Just before noon Thursday Lawrence police received a call stating a man was in crisis and making threats of school violence. Police responded to an area near 26th street just west of Iowa Street in Lawrence, according to an online statement from Lawrence Police.
Responding officers immediately contacted the Lawrence School District, which went on lockout out of an abundance of caution.
Police negotiators responded to the scene attempting to get the man to come out of a location peacefully. With officers negotiating with the man, the school lockout was lifted. The man ultimately surrendered peacefully to officers on scene. He was not injured. No officers were injured. Police released no additional details including the man's name and charges he faces.
