BEAUMONT, Texas — A man reported to be walking along a street carrying two rifles caused some concern not far from a Beaumont elementary school campus Monday morning in the city's north end.
Police were called after a man was reported to have been seen walking along East Lucas with two assault style weapons.
Students on the Lucas Pre-K campus were put on "lock-out" for less than 30 minutes due to the report according to a Beaumont Independent School District spokesperson.
In a "lock-out" all exterior doors top the school are locked and no one is allowed to enter the campus the spokesperson told 12News.
A 12News crew found several Beaumont police officers near Trinidad and Windsor speaking to man in the street three blocks from the school.
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
