A lockdown at Como Park Senior High School in St. Paul was lifted early Monday afternoon after the school reacted to a report that a student was overheard telling another student that he had a gun.

The student who allegedly said he had a gun was being interviewed by the school's resource officer just before noon, police spokesman Steve Linders said. No gun was found, Linders said.
