Police say everyone is safe following a 911 call claiming a school shooting at Springfield’s Hillcrest High School Thursday morning.

According to KY3-TV, police say school leaders received an anonymous call to 911 concerning a possible shooting around 11:30. Law enforcement searched room-to-room and say there is no indication of any shots fired. School leaders locked down the school as police investigated and cleared the school as a precaution.

The district set up a spot for parents at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds to pick up their students and asked nobody show up to the school until the investigation is complete.
