A report of a man with a gun was received from the McGaw YMCA at 8 a.m. yesterday.
Update 5 p.m.: Lisa Levin, marketing director at the Y, says the incident began when a Y member reported to front desk staff that he noticed a man in the building carrying a weapon.
Evanston police were called to the scene and Levin says they determined that the man in question was an off-duty Chicago police officer, and they advised him of the Y’s no firearms policy.
Update 7 p.m.: Evanston police, in a news release this evening, say the armed man was not on scene when officers arrived, but was “an off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction.”
The release states that “There was no danger to the public and no crime committed.”
The release notes that the YMCA is a prohibited area for concealed carry license holders to be armed, and that a CCL holder armed at the Y would be violating the state concealed carry act and would potentially be subject to criminal charges.
