A heavy law enforcement presence surrounded Jensen Beach High School in Florida Tuesday afternoon following an anonymous call reporting a bomb threat and an active shooter, according to Martin County Sheriff John M. Budensiek.
The sheriff’s office confirmed the school went into immediate lockdown as a precaution, as deputies swarmed the area to investigate.
“All students are safe,” Budensiek said in an update on X. “There is no active shooter, and that report has been determined to be false. There is also no indication the threat is credible.”
“The School District will provide guidance shortly on student dismissal and pick-up procedures. Please wait for official instructions before coming to campus,” the update added.
