Avera St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen was on a “controlled lockdown” on Friday, hospital officials say.
Facilities remained on heightened alert with additional security at main entrances, and administrators will make rounds with leaders.
Aberdeen police placed the hospital on lockdown at 10 AM because they initially believed a suspect wanted on a Brown County warrant was on or near the campus. After investigating, police now believe he is likely not in the area.
Police are still looking for 35-year-old Ronald Elkins.
