The North Broward Preparatory School in Coconut Creek, Fla. went into lockdown this morning after what thankfully turned out to be a false alarm of shots fired at the school:
Per Coconut Creek Police, reports of a potential situation at North Broward Preparatory School were a "false alarm."

However, police still searched “room-by-room” out of an “abundance of caution”:

My school is on lockdown. I’m sure it’s just a drill in light of yesterday’s events, but it’s in poor taste. We’re very close to Douglas. pic.twitter.com/KyLH4EKoeI

The Police department is coming through and grabbing doors trying to get in. They’re yelling. Some kids are crying.

It was NOT a drill. It WAS a false alarm. A teacher heard what they thought a gunshot. pic.twitter.com/HLwmXLGUJw
