A routine Friday afternoon at the Sacramento Zoo briefly turned tense when the zoo went into lockdown as police checked out a reported threat in the surrounding Land Park neighborhood. Visitor activity was temporarily halted while officers searched the area for any immediate danger.
According to CBS Sacramento, officers responded near South Land Park Drive and Sutterville Road and later determined the report lacked credibility. The outlet also reported that officers remained in the area as of its most recent update.
Where This Happened
The Sacramento Zoo sits at 3930 West Land Park Drive at the corner of Sutterville Road and Land Park Drive inside William Land Park, per the Sacramento Zoo visitor page. Because multiple park attractions share nearby streets and entrances, police activity along Sutterville or Land Park Drive can quickly affect access and operations for visitors.
