Crockett High School in South Austin was briefly placed on lockdown while police investigated a report of a gunman near the campus.

Austin police found the gunman was actually a student with a training prop for color guard, they said. The lockdown was lifted around 8:50 a.m., Austin district spokeswoman Cristina Nguyen said.

During the lockdown, lights were turned off inside the high school and all interior doors were locked, she said. Parents and students received a notification to stay away from the school, at 5601 Manchaca Road, when the lockdown was first initiated around 8 a.m., she said.
