A Canyon Country elementary school was on lockdown Wednesday morning after reports came in of a man shooting a BB gun at the campus. 

The Santa Clarita Valley Sherriff's Station received reports of a man shooting BB guns, with campus windows shattered. Mint Canyon Elementary went on lockdown around 10 a.m. 

As SKYCal flew overhead, deputies could be seen investigating a residential area adjacent to the school, searching for a man said to be the shooter. 

By 12:30 p.m., the lockdown was lifted and after a search near the campus, a possible suspect was detained. The sheriff's department said the investigation is ongoing.
