AMARILLO, TEXAS -- A Downtown Amarillo business was locked down Friday morning, after a man reportedly entered a building with a shotgun.

Before noon, Amarillo Police were called to the Wells Fargo Building at 10th and Fillmore, after someone saw a man walk into the building with the gun.

The bank was secured, until authorities were able to locate the man. Turns out he was just complying with a court order to turn the weapon over to another person. The shotgun was located in his attorney's office.

The man was taken to the police department for questioning, and later released.

The incident remains under investigation.
