**Updated at 7:29 p.m. Monday**
Kennebecasis regional police say reports of a person with a gun prompted a heavy police presence at a Quispamsis school on Monday.
Insp. Anika Becker said officers were called to Chris Saunders Memorial Elementary School around 1:15 p.m. for a report of a suspicious person with a firearm in the area.
Becker said the school was locked down as officers scoured the area looking for the individual.
About an hour later, police determined there was no actual threat and that the report was “unsubstantiated.”
The lockdown was lifted and students were allowed to leave for the day.
