Lynchburg, VA - In Lynchburg, it was a scary afternoon for neighbors and faculty at Lynchburg's only year-round school, Bass Elementary, after reports of a man with a gun in the area.
Shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, police were called to a home in the 1900 block of Seabury Avenue. The report at the time was armed robbery.
Within minutes, witnesses reported seeing a black man, 6'2", 220 pounds wearing a white shirt, running down a sidewalk firing three to four shots from a handgun.
Less than two blocks away, in the direction the man was running, sits Marvin Bass Elementary.
This all happened an hour after classes let out, but faculty members were put on lockdown while officers searched the area with dogs.
That search came to an abrupt end around 5:15 p.m.
Police say the man who was firing the shots had just been robbed by three men. The man had just taken a cell phone and some cash from his house.
The robbers are still at large. Gregory Langhorne was arrested and charged with reckless handling of a firearm.
