Arcadia Police Investigate Threat
Arcadia High School was placed on lock down shortly before noon Tuesday. School officials became aware of threats made against the school earlier this morning and notified the Arcadia Police Department.
School and Arcadia Police officials are working together conducting an investigation on campus.
Nervous parents waited for word outside the school for hours until students were finally released from each classroom individually and taken to the athletic fields .
There was an initial report of note threatening a teacher and then other rumors quickly spread none of which was substantiated.
There was much confusion and little to comfort parents as news helicopters hovered overhead.
Campus drive was shut down completely and parents were directed toward Duarte .
The investigation continues.
