CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WTVF) — A lockdown is over Thursday after multiple calls indicated a gunman was on the Chattanooga State Community College campus.
Authorities said the Chattanooga police received a demand from a caller who threatened to harm students if the caller didn't receive money.
This prompted a lockdown of the campus while law enforcement searched the area and didn't find a credible threat.
Chattanooga State and the Hamilton County Department of Education provided additional information for students and parents, who were affected by the lockdown.
The Chattanooga Police Department, Chattanooga State Police and federal partners will continue the investigation.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
