Shooting scare appears to be unfounded

wpid-wpid-sjpd-patch1.jpgOfficials notified several businesses to lock their doors Tuesday afternoon after what appears to have been an unfounded report of an active shooter.

We have no reports of any shots fired, and police officials tell us they believe the report to be unfounded. Officers responded to the Family Guidance Center 724 N. 22nd Street this afternoon.

Gary Hammond of the Center says an employee received a call from her husband saying there might be a shooter on a roof near his house.  The report led officers to the Family Guidance Center.  Hammond says as far as he knows it was a false report.

Captain Jeff Wilson confirms it was a false report.  “Absolutely unfounded,” Wilson said.

Hammond wants to compliment the police.  “They were very thorough, extremely professional, and should be commended for their work,” he said.
