Gaither High Lockdown Lifted

A threat of violence prompted the temporary lockdown Friday afternoon.

The Hillsborough County School District has announced that a temporary lockdown at Gaither High School has been lifted.

The lockdown was prompted by a Friday afternoon 911 call about potential violence planned during dismissal, the district wrote in an email to media. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and school security responded. An investigation revealed no credible threat, the email said.

Dismissal was delayed by about a half-hour, the district noted.
