Earlier Thursday morning, police conducted a search of a Broward preparatory school after a teacher said she heard a gun shot.
According to Coconut Creek Police, a teacher sent a text message to somebody off-campus saying she heard a shot fired at North Broward Preparatory School, located at 7600 Lyons Road.
In an abundance of caution, police went room to room conducting a search and placed the school on lockdown. Police have since lifted the lockdown and classified this as a false alarm.
Law enforcement presence has increased on campuses across the country. Expect to see more police at dismissal.
