Sycamore Valley Elementary School in Danville was briefly locked down Thursday morning following a report of a man with a rifle walking nearby, police said.
Danville police issued an alert shortly before 11:30 a.m. about their response to a caller who reported seeing a man dressed in fishing gear and carrying what looked like a rifle as he walked along Camino Tassajara in front of Sycamore Valley Park.
The nearby school on Holbrook Drive was locked down while officers searched the area for the man, who was not reported to have displayed the rifle in a violent manner, police said.
No other schools, businesses or homes were ordered to shelter in place or evacuate, and the lockdown at the school was lifted as of shortly before noon after the man was not found, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call (925) 820-2144 or 911 if it is an emergency.
