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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
