A report of a man missing in the Columbia River may be unfounded.

Emergency crews were sent to the Lee-Volpentest Bridge spanning the Columbia River on Interstate 182 after someone reported seeing a man jump the westbound side around 8:13 a.m.

After initial reports, police found the man at the Richland WinCo, and crews have stopped searching the river.
