Channel3 NOW has received numerous calls about an incident near Coffee Middle School this morning.
Law enforcement authorities swiftly addressed a morning call in the vicinity of Coffee Middle School, prompting the school to go on lockdown temporarily.
Upon thorough investigation, officers found that a woman was en route to a pawn shop to pawn a rifle.
Notably, she had the firearm openly visible as she walked. The situation was effectively managed, and there was no imminent threat to the school.
