Crazed Man with Knife Tries to Enter Middle School, APD Makes School Safe

Albuquerque –

Around 11AM, the Albuquerque Police Department received calls about a person screaming that they have been stabbed near Lomas and Girard.

A second call came in about a man trying to gain entry to Jefferson Middle School and was holding a knife. The school was put on lock down because of the perceived threat.

A calvary of APD police units rushed to the school and officers rushed into the building. They quickly cleared the school and did not find the man.

An exterior search for a stabbing victim and suspect did not find anything.

Just after 11:30AM, the school lifted the lock down.

If we learn anymore, we will update this story.

UPDATE:

APS sent an email stating someone called 911 and falsely reported that a person had been stabbed and the call was a hoax.
