Students at two Hart area schools were kept indoors as an RCMP emergency response team was called about midday Thursday to a report of a man in mental distress at a nearby home.
Because the incident appeared to involve a firearm, both Kelly Road Secondary School and Heather Park Elementary School were placed on forms of lockdown.
By about 1:20 p.m. the man was in custody and subsequently taken to hospital, RCMP said.
Shortly afterwards, the schools were listed as "all clear."
"The Prince George RCMP want to thank the public, school staff, students and parents, for their patience during this incident," RCMP said.
