Originally news reports said the Broward County School Lockdown seemed to be confined to schools in the Pembroke Pines area but the Broward County website says all the schools in the county are on lockdown.

At a police news conference a spokesperson said all students are safe and more information will be released by the school board about the end of the day protocol for picking up of students

The Broward County School Facebook page has the following notice,

Broward county is the sixth largest school district in the USA. About 257,000 students go to school in the Broward County School District.


The threat was relayed to police by a local radio station.

Apparently, a female caller indicated that her husband was going to start shooting at a school in Pembroke Pines. Then police received a subsequent email with a more general threat to Broward County. The phone call and the email triggered the general lockdown of schools in Broward County.
