Officials have confirmed that a man identified as the possible suspect of a weapons situation at Connecticut State University has been "contained and isolated," but the school remains on lockdown. 

Officers from throughout the region mobilized Monday after reports that a man carrying a gun and possibly a sword was seen on campus. No injuries have been reported at this time. 

As of 2 p.m., police were talking with a man who was considered "isolated" within the suite-style dorms on the southern part of campus in New Britain. The name of the man has not been released. 

A heavy police presence has formed around James Hall on the south end of Central Connecticut State University as officers search for a man with a gun and possibly a sword, police confirmed, leaving the university and nearby elementary schools on lockdown.

Police and school officials are saying "this is not an active shooter." New Britain and West Hartford SWAT have gathered along the southern end of the campus and are moving toward the apparent source of the issue, police said. 

Police have not reported any injuries as of yet, despite some social media posts to the contrary. Road closures were reported at Cedar Street, East Street and Paul Manafort Drive. 

Officers are continuing to surround James Hall, a residence hall on campus. HALS Academy and Holmes Elementary schools were placed into a "modified lockdown" after the "campus emergency," according to officials. 

Anyone in the area is urged to take shelter as the investigation continues. The schools released the following via Twitter: 

"All on campus must seek shelter and stay indoors. This is not a drill! Campus emergency."

Greenwich schools on lockdown?

Greenwich Public Schools sent an email alert following what the district described as confusion regarding the situation at Central Connecticut State University. Apparently, there were some media alerts that gave the erroneous impression that Greenwich's Central Middle School was the scene of campus lockdown.
