On Tuesday, shortly after the lockdown was lifted, police reported that a 16-year-old male had been arrested after allegedly threatening a male student with what was believed to be a knife in the school. The school was put in lockdown about 11:10 a.m. for approximately 30 minutes while police searched the school after the victim reported the incident to the office. However, police said Wednesday, the incident didn't occur. "Police continued to investigate the matter and have determined the incident did not occur as originally reported," it was stated in a press release issued Wednesday morning.
