A school on Hobart’s eastern shore was briefly locked down due to what authorities described as an “isolated incident” unfolding on a nearby street this afternoon.
Parents of Lindisfarne Primary School students told Pulse children were kept inside their classrooms while police responded to the situation on Henley Street.
The incident resulted in the closure of Henley Street between Loatta Road and Glenelg Street.
Parents said roads were blocked off around the area, with police directing motorists to turn around.
Pulse understands a house known to police on Henley Street is at the centre of the incident.
A spokesperson for the school declined to comment when contacted.
“No injuries occurred in the reported incident and there is no risk to the public,” police said.
One person is assisting police with their inquiries.
