Orange County School Threats Ruled Hoax, Lockdowns Lifted: OCSD

ORANGE COUNTY, CA —Police lifted a morning school lockdown at several campuses across the Orange Unified School District and Anaheim Unified School District, according to reports.

Schools across the county received phoned in threats Friday morning, at approximately 8:30 a.m., the Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesperson told Patch.

The calls involved "vague threats," OCSD department spokeswoman Carrie Braun said. Those schools were placed on a "shelter in place" status, an investigation was begun, and late Friday morning the sheriff's department reported that the "shelter in place" order had been lifted.

At 11 a.m., the department proclaimed all threats were non-credible, Braun said.

The OCSD will continue to work with the school district and local law enforcement agencies throughout the day, Friday, and law enforcement officers will maintain a presence at and around the affected schools' sites, the department said.
