At 1027 hours, a passerby reported a subject waving around a knife on the sidewalk immediately next to Ballard High School located at 1418 Nw 65 St. Officers responded and could not locate the subject or any victims of any crimes. At 1027 hours another call came into 911 reporting that the same male had a large laceration to his right arm and flagged a BHS student down to call into 911. The subject laid down in the grassy area on the southside of BHS property. This caused the school to go into lockdown as they were not sure of the subject’s intent. It was later determined by CRT resources that this was a self-inflicted injury, and the subject was ITA’d to HMC. The knife was recovered. BHS security stated that the subject was not menacing or threatening to any member of staff or students.
