Shortly before 2 p.m., Sacramento County Sheriff\u2019s Office spokesperson Sgt. Ed Igoe announced that deputies had searched the building and found no intruder inside.<\/p>\n He said the reports of an intruder had been deemed a \u201cfalse alarm,\u201d and the building was being reopened.<\/p>\n The incident began after a caller reported that someone inside the medical building had told her there was a gunman, but the caller never saw the armed man, Igoe said.<\/p>\n Along with sheriff\u2019s deputies, officers from the California Highway Patrol, the Citrus Heights Police Department, the Sacramento Police Department and the Rancho Cordova Police Department responded to the medical building.<\/p>\n Igoe said the entire medical building was cleared and evacuated as deputies investigated. Deputies discovered the identity of the original man who claimed there was a gun. Igoe said that man was detained by Citrus Heights police in the area and turned over to deputies.<\/p>\n No injuries were reported, Igoe said, and deputies did not find a gun.<\/p>\n Sheriff\u2019s officials later arrested the caller, a 25-year-old man, on suspicion of knowingly reporting a false emergency. He was booked on the felony charge at the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he was being held Friday afternoon without bail.<\/p>\n This story was originally published May 29, 2026 at 2:41 PM.<\/p>\n Related Stories from Sacramento Bee<\/p>\n
