MARION COUNTY, Fla. – On Tuesday, Marion County deputies announced that a threatening note was found in one of the bathrooms at Forest High School.
In response to the discovery, law enforcement said the school was put into Code Yellow, which means that all school doors are locked down and regular classroom instruction continues behind the locked doors.
Deputies said the procedure would stay in effect until they could determine that there is no actual danger to the students and staff at the high school.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies at the scene used a firearms detection K-9 and have been actively investigating the threat.
