CLOVIS, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Clovis West High School was placed on lockdown as law enforcement investigated a suspicious phone call involving the campus.<\/p>\n

Fort Washington Elementary School, located across the street from Clovis West, was also placed on lockdown because of its proximity.<\/p>\n

It has since been moved to a shelter-in-place.<\/p>\n

In a message sent to parents, the school said that during a lockdown, \u201cstudents and staff are kept inside, with doors locked and lights off.\u201d The message said police were leading the on-campus response and that \u201cno one can enter or leave our site while in lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n
