Shelter-in-place order lifted after police locate juvenile who allegedly had weapon

A shelter-in-place order due to law enforcement activity in west Colorado Springs was lifted just before 4 p.m. in a neighborhood near Cheyenne Mountain High School.

The Colorado Springs Police Department issued the order for 1110 Mercury Dr. just before 2 p.m. Tuesday. Police responded to a report of a juvenile brandishing a weapon on school grounds, according to a post on CSPD’s blotter.

The shelter-in-place order was called for the immediate vicinity when the juvenile fled the area, per the post.
