A popular Texas resort was in lockdown Friday night after reports of a possible active shooter.
Law enforcement swarmed the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine after 10 p.m. local time, and placed the hotel on lockdown as a precaution, Grapevine Police said on Twitter.
"We are searching each room while families wait in a secure part of the resort," police tweeted two hours later.
"There are no injuries reported, but we are still on scene and searching the area."
The lodge tweeted to the local CBS station that police were called after someone "made concerning statements threatening the safety of our guests." That person was being sought, the tweet said.
