Lockdown at Plantation High School lifted after police investigated reports of armed person

Plantation police cleared a high school Wednesday afternoon following concerns over a reported fight and a possible gun on campus.

Jeffrey Tucker, 18, said he heard about the lockdown over the loudspeaker.

"They went on the announcements. Said it was a code red, we're on lockdown," Tucker said.

Chopper 4 video showed police huddled around the main entrance of the high school.

Police said the school went into lockdown after officers saw students running down hallways and received reports that someone overheard a comment about a gun. Authorities did not find a weapon and determined no fight had occurred. Students remained in classrooms while a SWAT team was on the scene.

"We all were in the closet. Quiet. You know you gotta be quiet," Tucker said.

Isaiah Daniel, 17, who spoke with his mother's permission, said he was in the hallway when the lockdown began and hurried into a classroom.

"Everybody was at the desk. The teacher was telling everybody to stay quiet," Daniel said.

Chevis Davis and other parents arrived to pick up their children after receiving notifications from the school. Davis praised the police response.

"I think it's a blessing for police to show up in the numbers and droves to make sure that my kids feel protected," Davis said.

Broward County Public Schools officials said the all-clear was given just after 2 p.m., and classes resumed. No injuries were reported.
