The hospital was locked down as a result, and the east end of the city was similarly put in lockdown mode while police searched for the 6-foot tall white male.

Police confirmed earlier that one person is being questioned in relation to the incident, but did not indicate that he was a suspect. A press release from the hospital, however, referred to him as such.

LPD said a press release will be issued in regards to the matter, but that no further details are available at this time.
