St Joseph police shortly after noon Friday received a report of shots fired in the 2300 block of Faraon. It turned out to be an unfounded report, but officials did take the precaution of locking down Edison Elementary School.
Sergeant Keith Dudley of the St Joseph Police Department says officers were dispatched to the area, and spoke with the person who made the initial report. The called indicated hearing five shots fired. But Dudley says after speaking with the caller, and checking the neighborhood, they found no evidence shots were fired.
The “all clear” was given within an hour of the initial lockdown order.
