Precautionary Lockdown Lifted On Schools In Moorpark
MOORPARK (CBSLA.com) — Multiple schools were placed on precautionary lockdown Monday while officials searched for a student.
According to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, a "general threat" was left on the Moorpark Unified School District's voice mail at some point Sunday night, and was directed at Moorpark High School.
A preliminary investigation revealed that two other schools may have been included in the original threat.
As a precaution, Sycamore Canyon School and Walnut Canyon School were placed on lockdown.
Shortly after 9:30 a.m., school officials posted to Twitter that there was no imminent danger to students at the school.

The lockdown was lifted from all schools shortly before noon, and classes resumed.
