That caused police to ask for a lockdown at all Iola schools from about 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; the lockdown has ended and classes have resumed as normal.
Later that afternoon, police were reported to be looking for the suspect in Humboldt. Classes were not in session yet in Humboldt; students return tomorrow.
