Police are at the scene and investigating.
Police are investigating threats toward both high schools in Lakeville on Tuesday.
Students evacuated Lakeville South High School in the morning after police and district officials confirmed an anonymous threat was sent to the school.
Then, shortly before 1 p.m., Lakeville police said officers were responding to Lakeville North High School after that school received an anonymous threat.
At the moment, the public is asked to avoid both schools as police investigate the source of the threats.
It’s still unclear if the threats targeting the two schools are at all related.
According to police and district officials, no injuries or acts of violence have been reported.
A parent told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS a lockdown notification first went out just after 9:30 a.m. Tuesday before police began to evacuate the school room by room.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has asked the district for more information. Thus far, a spokesperson has only confirmed that a threat resulted in a lockdown at Lakeville South and said, “District and school staff immediately collaborated with the Lakeville Police Department and other emergency responders to follow all of our standard protocols to ensure student and staff safety.”
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is still awaiting answers to additional questions from the district and police.
