LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Fox Hollow Golf Course was put in lockdown early Sunday after golfers reported hearing gun shots in the area.
"We arrived in the area and found a male on property. He has been contained and the officers on scene are working to establish contact," said Ty Countryman, a Lakewood Police Department spokesman.
Golfers were evacuated from the course and driving range shortly after 7:30 a.m., an employee told Denver7.
Shortly after 9 a.m. the situation came to an end when a man was rushed to the hospital with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Countryman told Denver7.

"There was no threat, it was all contained to this one person," Countryman said.
