Lauderdale Lakes elementary school temporarily evacuated due to bomb threat
FORT LAUDERDALE - A Lauderdale Lakes school was temporarily evacuated as a precaution as the result of a bomb threat that was called in.
Chopper4 over the Park Lakes Elementary, at 3925 State Road 7, found dozens of students under the shade of big trees near the school as Broward sheriff's deputies patrol cruises blocked off roads in the area.
