FORT WORTH — Texas Wesleyan University lifted the lockdown issued Tuesday afternoon after reports of an armed person.

The university said just before 2:30 p.m. an Emergency Alert was sent to the Texas Wesleyan community to shelter in place after a suspicious armed person was reported near the Nenetta Curton Center Building, on the corner of Brinkley St. and Ave. D.

Fort Worth PD said that initial descriptions identified the suspicious person as a white woman with a partially shaved head, wearing camouflage pants. They quickly found and questioned her.

After investigating, officers determined that no firearm was involved in the situation.

Fort Worth police gave the all-clear just before 4 p.m. and the shelter in place was lifted.
