Armed Guardsmen Causes School Lockdown

Witnesses saw a man in a military outfit running with a gun near Clackamas High School this morning.  It caused a brief lockdown while authorities investigated.

Sheriff's deputies caught up with the Army reservist jogging at Mount Talbert Nature Park and learned he was carry a simulated rifle in a training exercise.  They explained to the man why this would cause concern and that it's not a good idea to do it out in public.  

A report was forwarded to the man's commanding officer.  He'll be counseled by his superiors and possibly disciplined.  That could include demotion, extra duty and dock of pay.
