South Eugene High School and Roosevelt Middle School were both placed on lockdown at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday while Eugene police responded to a “suspicious subject” in that area, KEZI reports.

That suspicious subject was an unidentified officer clad in SWAT gear with a gun in his holster and a black bag in one hand, The Register-Guard’s Josephine Woolington reports.

A delivery driver reportedly tried to talk to the officer. When the officer didn’t respond, the driver called it in.

The schools were only on lockdown for about 20 minutes.
