COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Colerain High School is under a full lockdown while police investigate what the district said is a likely false alarm.
Northwest Local School District posted to social media that all staff and students are safe. Police are on the scene investigating.
"It appears to be a swatting incident as well as a false alarm," reads the district's post. "Due to the emotional impact, Colerain High School will be dismissed for the day."
Dismissal began at 9:15 a.m. and parents were asked to come to the high school's front office to check out their child.
Officials have not said what kind of threat was made, or who they suspect of having made it.
The ATF office in Louisville said Wednesday morning that they were assisting Louisville police with swatting incidents. ATF also said there have been similar calls also being made to schools in Evansville, Lexington and Cincinnati.
