UPDATE at 1:20pm: Lockdown lifted

According to the school’s website, Clover Park Technical College was in lockdown at its Lakewood campus for about an hour on Tuesday.

“Lock your doors, turn off the lights, and follow lockdown procedures until further notice,” the warning read.

Lakewood police say there were reports a man with a gun was chasing after a white car on campus.

“We believe that there was an argument or some kind of disturbance with a group of people around a car,” says Lakewood Police Lt. Chris Lawler. “Somebody pulled out a gun and started chasing after the car. No shots were fired.”

As a precaution, Tacoma and Lakewood police searched every building to make sure the suspect wasn’t hiding somewhere and the area is safe.

The suspect and car have not been located.
