FORT WORTH, TX — The lockdown issued at Chisholm Trail High School ended Friday afternoon around 4:25 p.m., the district announced. A search was conducted, but no threats to the campus were found.
The lockdown was precautionary and was mandated after an anonymous person made an unsubstantiated threat over the phone, the district said.
Megan Overman, a EMSISD spokeswoman, told Patch the students and staff effectively followed protocol and the lockdown progressed without issue.
