Officer Norma Eisenman says dispatchers received a call shortly before 8:30 a.m. Friday about a possibly suicidal 22-year-old man near Pierce College and West Valley Occupational Center in Woodland Hills.
Eisenman says there was concern that the man might have a handgun.
The 400-acre Pierce College and the occupational center were locked down and the Pierce library was searched.
Eisenman says the lockdown ended shortly after 12:30 p.m. when police took a man into custody at a nearby bowling alley.
There’s no word on whether he was armed but no injuries are reported.
