NAMPA, Idaho — A Nampa man is in custody Wednesday after police said he shot at an officer and left his home with the gun.
Police on Wednesday afternoon were looking for 18-year-old Jaden Andres Martinez in the area of 1st Street North and 19th Avenue North, the police department said. Martinez ran after he allegedly shot at an officer as Nampa Police served a battery warrant. The officer was not injured.
Endeavor and Park Ridge elementary schools were on hall check following the incident, a precaution used to return students quickly to their classrooms when there is perceived danger near the school, but not in the building. All exterior and interior doors were locked, and classroom activities continued.
The Nampa Police Department said Martinez ran into a nearby field, forcing the hall check at the two elementary schools as a safety precaution. There were no threats to the schools and a perimeter was set up around the field.
Martinez was found hiding in a ravine along the field by the Nampa Police Tactical Response Team and Nampa Police K-9 officers.
"The armed man has run from the police, and his appearance will indicate that," Nampa Police said in a post on Twitter.
The 18-year-old was taken into custody without incident. Martinez was arrested on the battery warrant, but Nampa Police said further charges are expected.
