Earl Oxford School in Brandon has lifted a lockdown that was initiated this morning.

At around 9:30 the Brandon Police Service arrived at the school after a woman who was unknown to the staff was inside the school. The woman said she was being chased and threatened by someone with a weapon. 

When police arrived the woman had been contained in the office and after the school was cleared, no threat was found. 

It was determined that the woman was suffering from mental health issues, which was confirmed by her family and police do not believe anyone was chasing her.

She was removed from the school to receive medical assistance.
