Out of an abundance of caution, UCHealth was locked down but police said there was no active threat at the hospital. 

Investigators said the McNitt Street location in Evans is being investigated as a separate incident and cannot confirm the two are connected. CBS News Colorado Your Reporter Dillon Thomas said SWAT and police, along with fire crews were outside a house in Evans. 

Investigators have K9 officers on scene as well as drones that have been deployed.
