*TLS EXCLUSIVE 🎥 UPDATE:* *LPD ALSO RELEASED THE FOLLOWING UPDATE TO TLS* Just prior to noon today, the Lakewood Police Department received multiple 911 calls reporting what callers believed to be gunfire at the BMG campus, with several individuals seen running from the area. Officers from every division of the Lakewood Police Department responded immediately. Upon arrival, officers made entry into the buildings and began securing the campus while conducting a systematic search to ensure the safety of everyone on scene. As the investigation progressed, officers determined that the sounds believed to be gunfire were likely caused by a construction worker operating equipment on the campus. Out of an abundance of caution, every building on the campus was searched. No threat was located, and the campus was determined to be safe. At no time were students, staff, visitors, or nearby residents in danger. Chief Gregory Meyer praised the rapid response of officers and emphasized the importance of taking every report seriously. “Our officers responded immediately and treated this incident as though it were a real and active threat. While we are thankful that the sounds were ultimately determined not to be gunfire, our first priority will always be the safety of our community. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of everyone affected while officers worked to ensure the campus was secure.” The Lakewood Police Department reminds the public that if you see or hear something that causes concern, do not hesitate to call 911. Prompt reporting allows first responders to quickly assess the situation and ensure the safety of the community. https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/breaking-bmg-building-evacuated-after-reports-of-shots-fired-no-shots-fired/ ~~~ 🚨🖥️📱 👉 *Be First To Know - by Following TLS* *Join Over 30,000 Following the Lakewood Region’s #1 Status & Communities here:* *Join the Official TLS Community:* https://chat.whatsapp.com/GGwlPaiG0d49MJTRLfHVPN *Join the Official TLS Status:* https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=17324047786&text=Subscribe!%20
