A person is reported to be in custody after an incident at St. Luke\u2019s University Hospital in Fountain Hill late Friday afternoon brought a large police presence to the borough and forced the health network\u2019s flagship campus into lockdown.<\/p>\n
The apparent standoff was prompted by a behavioral health patient who was holding a television remote control, St. Luke\u2019s spokesperson Sam Kennedy told The Morning Call on Friday evening. No one was in danger, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all resolved, all clear,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cThere was no gun, no weapon. It was a TV remote control.\u201d<\/p>\n
The incident, which authorities initially described as a \u201chostage situation\/barricaded suspect,\u201d began shortly before 5 p.m. Lehigh County\u2019s emergency response team was activated and hostage negotiators were brought to the scene.<\/p>\n
Around 5:30 p.m., county dispatchers reported that a person was in custody.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
