Police activity in a Richmond neighborhood prompted a shelter-in-place order for about an hour Monday morning while officers canvassed the area for a reported armed person.

At about 9 a.m., officers responded to the 500 block of Second Street on reports of an "armed subject," and residents within a one-block radius were ordered to shelter in place, police said. The shelter order was lifted just after 10 a.m., with police issuing an all-clear.

Police did not say whether or not a suspect was found, and no other information was provided
