Minnesota State University Moorhead was briefly on lockdown this afternoon following an armed robbery near campus.

A university spokesman said authorities notified school officials around noon of the robbery at Hornbacher's grocery store in Moorhead. Authorities told the university the man was heading in the direction of campus, which is about five blocks away. News reports said the man had robbed a bank branch within the store.

Hornbacher's is also about 10 blocks away from Concordia College, which put out a safety alert but did not carry out a lockdown. Both schools received the all-clear 15 minutes later when authorities told them the suspect had left the area.
