Omaha Apartment Building Locked Down After Report of Armed Man

(AP) — Omaha police say a lockdown at an apartment building has been lifted after the search for a man believed to be armed moved away from the area.

Officer James Shade says the Livestock Exchange Building was cleared Wednesday afternoon after police searched the area and determined there was no immediate threat to residents. There are no reports of injuries.

Police received a report around 4 p.m. about a former tenant who was armed and had confronted management about being evicted. Officers searched the building and determined the man had left by the time they arrived.

Additional information about a weapon was not available. Police continue to look for the man, whose name has not been released.
