BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – West Shore Junior/Senior High School was cleared after a bomb threat prompted a shelter-in-place Friday morning, according to Brevard County Public Schools.
All students are safe and accounted for and regular school operations have continued, according to Brevard County school officials.
The school district said it evacuated all students and staff to a designated safety zone as law enforcement responded to the threat.
Law enforcement gave the school “the all-clear” about an hour after school officials first tweeted about the threat.
This comes as Cocoa High School closed briefly Friday morning after receiving a threat from a student’s parent. Details of what prompted the closure has not been released.
This is a developing story and will be updated with more information as we receive it.
UPDATE on West Shore Jr./Sr. High: All students and staff are safe and accounted for. The building have been evacuated and law enforcement is on scene and sweeping the campus. Please do not come to the school. We will update as soon as we have new information.
West Shore Jr./Sr. High is currently in a shelter-in-place due to a bomb threat we just received. We are in process of evacuating students and staff to a designated safety zone out of an abundance of caution as we work with law enforcement to sweep the campus.
