Friday morning incident ends peacefully

No one was injured following an incident at about 8:15 this morning in the 100 block of North Clarkson Street.

Fremont Police Captain Kurt Bottorff said information was received that an individual was screaming and shooting a rifle toward the street.

“The area was secured and certain facilities were put on lockdown,” the captain said. “It was determined that the gun was BB gun and the person was experiencing a mental health crisis. The incident ended at about 9 a.m. peacefully and without injury.”

In a press release, Archbishop Bergan Catholic School said the incident happened south of the high school. The school and the Bergan Early Childhood Education Center went into what is called a SECURE. The release said that under that practice, the school continues its operation and instruction. The building’s exterior doors are checked to make sure they are locked while first-floor windows are covered and no one is allowed to enter or exit the building.

The SECURE notice was lifted at 9 a.m. Officials said students and staff were not in danger at anytime. They note that SECURE was utilized today as a preventative measure to be sure everyone was kept safe.

Bottorff said Trinity Lutheran Daycare was also in lockdown during the incident. He said various agencies helped bring the situation to a peaceful conclusion.

“We’d like to thank everyone who assisted us, including the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, Fremont Fire and Rescue and our agency,” he said.
