(WSVN) - Several parents were nervous after having to pick up their kids at Miami Central High after the district said they received fake calls of a shooting.
Just after 9 a.m., authorities received a call about an adult male shooter in body armor on the second floor of Miami Central High School at 1781 NW 95th St., Tuesday.
“My child called me talking about code red 911,” said Shayna Anderson, a parent.
“My son’s right in the classroom right there,” said Eric Cummings, a parent.
Classes were cut short for schools across South Florida after police received swatting calls about active shooters at these schools.
“I was scared for my life, so I had to come pick my child up,” Anderson said.
“We were in class learning, and that’s when they came on the announcement and said it was a code red not a drill,” said Talia Landingham, a student.
Parents- lined up outside Miami Central High School to pick up their kids.
Miami-Dade Schools confirmed with 7News that there was no active shooter and that it was a hoax that was called in at several schools.
A similar call was also made to Ronald Reagan Senior High School in Doral and the school was placed on a code-red lockdown as police investigated the false claims.
Pembroke Pines police were also seen outside of West Broward High School at 500 NW 209th Ave. after another swatting call was made there.
After a search of the school, police found no threat and the lockdown was lifted.
