Threats lead to more lockdowns at Lakeville Area Schools, district officials say

School district leaders in Lakeville, Minnesota, say two schools went on lockdown Tuesday as police investigated reported threats.

Lakeville Area Schools officials say Kenwood Trail Middle School and Lakeville Pathways Academy were placed on lockdown due to an anonymous threat.

Police confirmed at about 2 p.m. that the threat has been cleared and nothing suspicious was found. 

District officials say a juvenile has been identified as the person who made the threat and will face consequences in accordance with school and legal procedures.

Exactly one week ago, similar threats were made against Lakeville South High School and Lakeville North High School.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says those threats were likely swatting hoaxes.
