CLOVIS, Calif. (FOX26) — Clovis West High School was placed on lockdown as law enforcement investigated a suspicious phone call involving the campus.
Fort Washington Elementary School, located across the street from Clovis West, was also placed on lockdown because of its proximity.
It has since been moved to a shelter-in-place.
In a message sent to parents, the school said that during a lockdown, “students and staff are kept inside, with doors locked and lights off.” The message said police were leading the on-campus response and that “no one can enter or leave our site while in lockdown.”
The school asked families to stay away from campus, saying, “To keep roads clear for law enforcement, please do not come to campus during this lockdown event.”
Parents were told updates would be provided “after students are secure inside,” and that if the lockdown was prolonged, additional updates would be sent.
