Police and fire personnel converged Friday on Lambeau Field, where law enforcement officials cordoned off a section of the parking lot at the Green Bay Packers' stadium.

Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith told the Press-Gazette one suspect is in custody after he attempted to drive into the stadium's loading dock and hit several vehicles in the process.

WBAY tweeted a photo of a minivan resting atop another vehicle in a parking lot outside the Packers' training facility.

Police said no one was injured in the incident, no weapons were found, and the public is in no danger. Earlier reports had suggested police were looking for an active shooter in the area in addition to a potential bomb threat.

The Packers are scheduled to host the Vikings at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday.
