A San Carlos elementary school was briefly placed on lockdown Tuesday due to an armed suspect in a home blocks from the campus, but the man was quickly taken into custody.
Myron B. Green Elementary School was locked down Tuesday morning when police responded to reports of a man threatening to harm himself with a gun at a home in the 7000 block of Tuckaway Street, two blocks from the school, according to the San Diego Police Department.
The unidentified man was detained around 8:45 a.m. and taken to a local hospital for evaluation. The lockdown was lifted a short time later.
It was not immediately clear if the man lived at the residence where he was taken into custody.
