Update 12:15 p.m. David Tucker with Seattle Public Schools tells us that the scene is clear and the school is back to normal.
11:30 a.m. Seattle police are near Ballard High School because a man with a gun was seen in the area. According to David Tucker with Seattle Public Schools, the school is in “shelter in place” because of the police activity. “Shelter in place” means that classes continue but the hallways are kept clear and all but one entrance is secured. Police dispatch says the school does not appear to be a target in any way. (Thanks Steve for the tip!)
