The search for a 30-year-old Libertyville man is still in progress after he left his home on First Avenue on Monday, December 1, with intent to hurt himself. According to Libertyville Police Lt. Bill Kinast, the ex-army Veteran is believed to be suicidal and in possession of a handgun, but has not threatened to hurt anyone other than himself. All five Libertyville Elementary District 70 schools kept inside on Tuesday, Dec. 2 and Libertyville High School was on “soft lockdown” on Dec. 2 and 3. Any person with information regarding the situation is urged to call Libertyville Police. Libertyville police used K9 tracking dogs and a search helicopter in attempt to locate the man. In addition, a water-rescue boat was also launched into the Des Plaines River to search for a body, but they did not find one.
