Police and firefighters initially responded about 12:50 p.m. to the 3700 block of 106th Street on a report of an assault and pronounced one person dead at the scene and took another to a hospital, a fire department dispatcher said.

When police arrived, they discovered that a man and woman were physically attacked.

Nearby Morningside High School was placed on lockdown as a precaution while a search for a suspect was conducted.
