Evanston police are still seeking someone described as an emotionally disturbed individual who is a suspect in a battery incident Friday morning that led to the lockdown of Evanston schools Friday afternoon. The incident began about 11 a.m. Friday when officers responded to report of a potentially emotionally disturbed individual involved in a battery in the 900 block of Michigan Avenue. Police Cmdr. Ryan Glew says initial investigation indicated that the battery suspect may have been armed and may have either fled the scene before officers arrived or returned to a unit inside the apartment building on the block where the suspect lived.
