Disturbance Puts Opportunity Center School on Lockdown

Police Have Detained One Man

The Opportunity Center School in downtown Grand Junction was placed on lockdown Wednesday around 11:00 a.m. after a disturbance.

Police have detained one man after reports he created a disturbance at the school. He apparently was on school grounds, yelling at students.

Initial reports say the man ran into a nearby home when police attempted to contact him, and then barricaded himself in. Police had to go into the home and use a taser on the suspect to arrest him.

Police tell KJCT News 8 that the man is now being mentally evaluated.
