"Shelter in Place" at Two Great Falls Schools

Two suspects were taken into custody after a disturbance led to a warrant execution near two schools, prompting precautionary shelter-in-place and evacuation orders.

  • Great Falls Police Department and the Central Montana High-Risk Unit are responding to an incident in the 1000 block of Fifth Avenue South, prompting nearby schools to shelter-in-place Thursday afternoon.
  • The warrant operation stems from a disturbance that occurred last night, and GFPD executed search and arrest warrants, taking two people into custody with limited details released.
  • Officers executing the warrant include GFPD officers and Cascade County Sheriff's deputies, and drivers in the affected neighborhood were advised to avoid the area or use 6th Avenue South or 9th Street South as alternatives.
  • Authorities reported no injuries to suspects or officers and said there are no indications students are in danger; Longfellow Elementary School and St. Patrick's Academy West have since resumed normal operations.
  • Some residents in the area were asked to evacuate, and GFPD posted on social media that it will update the public soon and urged parents and guardians to follow emergency notifications.
