DELTONA, Fla. – There will be an enhanced law enforcement presence at Deltona High School this week, after false reports of gunshots on Tuesday, according to district officials.
The school was put on lockdown Tuesday morning after deputies received a 911 call reporting gunshots heard on the campus.
Volusia County deputies responded to the school and found there was no threat on campus, according to a statement from Volusia County Schools, calling it a “false report.”
Today a 911 call was made that prompted VSO to respond to Deltona HS. The school was placed on lockdown while officers assessed the situation. The lockdown was lifted once the campus was cleared.
