No one was hurt Saturday afternoon after a military helicopter made an emergency landing at a middle school near Hampden Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, according to the Denver Police Department.

The helicopter made the landing at Henry Middle School along S. Golden Way at 5:15 p.m. A spokesperson for DPD couldn't say why the helicopter made an emergency landing.

Jessica Feucht, a witness at the scene, told 9NEWS she was able to speak with the military members on board while they were landing. She said she was told the helicopter was coming from Kansas and headed to Montana.

"And they said they had an issue," she continued, "so they said it would be better for them to come down and saw [the school] as an open space so they came down."

All authorities could say about who owned the helicopter was that it belonged to the military.

No injuries were reported.

This story will be updated. 9NEWS has a crew on the scene.
