Following reports of a lethal weapon on campus, a high school in Los Angeles was put on lockdown on Tuesday.
Just before 10 o’clock in the morning, students were seen fleeing Hollywood High School as police flocked to the site. The school has since been cleared.
Officers are still establishing a barrier around the facility at 1521 N. Hollywood’s Highland Avenue, according to CBS.
According to The Independent, some students were relocated to a safe area across campus while others were shelter in place.
The alleged threat caused Sunset Boulevard to be cordoned off at Orange Avenue.
A view from above showed students rushing away from what appeared to be bullets coming from room 109.
According to the outlet, a call of an assault with a deadly weapon occurring at the school was sent to the Los Angeles Police Department around 9:43 am on Tuesday.
Although there is now no definite proof of a crime, the investigation is still underway.
