One person transported to hospital; lockdown at Mankato West lifted

A soft lockdown at Mankato West High School that was put in place Tuesday afternoon has been lifted.

An email to parents from school administrators says the lockdown was due to a “medical emergency in the parking lot by the baseball field.”

A press release from Mankato Public Safety says an individual was transported to Mayo Clinic Mankato by ambulance. Further information was not available.

Police say the soft lockdown has been lifted.
