PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – The all clear has been given after police were called to two schools Thursday morning in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
Charles W. Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines was placed on lockdown Thursday morning as a precaution after someone reported weapons being on campus, a spokesperson for the school district confirmed.
The school is located at 12800 Taft St. The spokesperson said officers searched the school and no weapons were found.
Another hoax 911 call was made in Miami-Dade County in which an anonymous caller reported that the principal of American Senior High School in Hialeah had been shot.
A spokesperson for the school district confirmed that officers responded to the school and discovered that the call had been a hoax.
No arrests have been made in either incident at this time. Sheriff Gregory Tony recently said false school threats are a growing trend, but he hopes the legislation making false threats a felony will deter culprits.
