BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - A Burlington elementary school went into a campus-wide lockout Friday afternoon after police say a student reported someone walking near campus with what appeared to be a gun.

It happened at Edmunds Elementary School on Main Street. School officials says because the person didn’t appear to be a direct threat, they did a campus-wide lockout and called police.

Police gave them the all-clear about 20 minutes later.
