SUMMARY: Law enforcement responded to a potential threat of a person with a gun at West Harrison High School and Middle School, leading to heavy presence and a lockdown. Students were evacuated and law enforcement conducted multiple searches, including through backpacks, to ensure no weapons were present. The initial call was a spoofed number, making it difficult to identify the caller. Traffic was backed up as parents waited to pick up their children. Law enforcement is continuing to investigate the situation and ensure the safety of the students. The situation is ongoing and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

On Thursday afternoon, law enforcement is on the scene at West Harrison High School and West Harrison Middle School in response to a gun threat.
