Building temporarily locked down.

A building in Thorold was locked down earlier this afternoon after police received a report of an armed person.

Around 2:45 p.m., officers were called to the Lofts on Schmon Parkway, building six.

The building was placed under lockdown as officers investigated.

No weapon was located.

Niagara Regional Police say a report of a man with a long gun was unfounded.

Officers also say this incident is not related to the shootings that occurred earlier today in Peel and Milton.
