1. The Savannah Chatham County Public School System reports that Savannah High School and Savannah Early College were evacuated on Wednesday morning due to reports of a gunman. Savannah SWAT conducted a full sweep of the school, room by room. The reports of a gunman were unfounded. The school's parents report that the district did not alert them of the situation. (WJBF-TV)
