No Active Threat After Leroy Township Armed-Suspect Alert

A Leroy Township public-safety warning ended Monday evening with officials saying there was no longer an active threat.

The episode began with an emergency notification at 5:14 p.m. on October 26th, 2026, warning of an armed subject near Running Deer Ridge Drive and telling residents to stay indoors, lock their doors and avoid the area because the person was not yet in custody.

A later local news report described the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office searching near 6 Mile Road and Lyman Drive after reports of an armed suspect.

That report said residents were asked to remain inside and move away from windows and exterior walls while authorities investigated.

The available public notices do not fully explain whether the location references describe one search area or separate points in the same response.

They also present different times, with the countywide alert system listing an earlier warning and the news account describing a warning issued just after 9 p.m.

For readers, the most important update is the later emergency notice stating there was no longer an active threat in the Running Deer Ridge area.

That update, effective at 8:12 p.m., still asked people to avoid the area while emergency crews remained on scene.

Officials had not released a detailed public incident summary explaining what prompted the search, whether anyone was taken into custody or whether injuries were reported.

Until more information is released, residents should avoid treating social-media speculation as confirmed fact.

The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office provides round-the-clock law-enforcement service across the county and directs people to call 911 during an emergency.

Calhoun County Emergency Management also maintains preparedness information and coordinates with public-safety partners during emergencies.

Anyone traveling through the affected part of Leroy Township should check current official guidance before approaching the 6 Mile Road and Lyman Drive area.

Even after an immediate danger has passed, keeping roads clear gives deputies, fire crews and medical responders room to finish their work safely.
