NORMAN, Oklahoma -- Norman police are looking for a man who shot and wounded another man near Lake Thunderbird Wednesday morning.

The victim was found not far from Lakeview Elementary school.

Police told the principal a lockdown wasn't necessary.

"We did receive an alert from the Norman Police Department that they had a situation and they had to block off a part of the road, notifying us. I asked at that time if there was any concern for a lockdown. They said no. They had the suspect.  They knew where the suspect was," said principal Paula Palermo.

But the district did send out a so-called IRIS alert to parents, and some of them came by to take their children home.

"I got an IRIS alert from the Norman public schools that there was a shooting, and I was just concerned for my son," said parent Wayne Higdon.

The police have not found the gunman.  The condition of the victim is not known.
