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

Police said a lockdown at Plantation High School has been lifted after officers investigated reports of a large fight and armed person on Thursday afternoon.

In an earlier social media post, Plantation police said that officers were at the scene searching the building after getting a report of a fight that took place and a report of a person armed with a gun.

Police said officers had also set up a perimeter around the school, preventing people from entering or leaving the area.

In a statement to CBS News Miami, Broward County Public Schools officials said Plantation High School received the all-clear from police after investigating the report.

Officials said police spoke with the student in question, and no weapon was found.

Normal operations resumed at the school a short time later.
