A home invasion in East Brainerd late Friday morning caused authorities to temporarily lockdown the nearby Westview Elementary School.
Shortly after 11 a.m., two men entered a home in the Emerald Valley Subdivision off East Brainerd. The owner was bound and an undisclosed amount of property and money were taken.
No one was injured during the incident.

It happened at the Emerald Valley Subdivision off East Brainerd Road, near the intersection of Ooltewah Georgetown Road.
The victim reports being home alone when two suspects forced their way into the residence through a side door, then forcibly bound the victim, and made off with an undisclosed amount of property.
The victim reported being able to loosen the knots, then contact law enforcement.
