RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Four schools in Rapid City that were temporarily closed are back open following the discovery that a man in the area was carrying a cellphone and not a handgun.

Rapid City Police spokesman Brendyn Medina says the four elementary schools on the north side of the city had been locked Monday while police searched the area for what was reported to be a man on a bicycle with a black handgun.

Medina says police found the man and after talking with him determined that no crime had been committed.

The schools that had been locked down include North Middle School and General Beadle, Knollwood Heights and Horace Mann elementary schools.

Medina says classes continued while police searched the area.
