Princeton High School Shooter Threat Likely A Hoax, Police Say

PRINCETON, OH — Princeton City School District officials confirmed all students are safe and accounted for after multiple law enforcement agencies were called to Princeton High School on Friday for a report of an active shooter.

The school went into lockdown while police investigated; however, no credible threat was found, according to district officials and a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.

Social media reports showed a helicopter circling the school as police investigated. Meanwhile, parents gathered at a nearby church waiting to be reunited with their children.

All high school students have been dismissed for the day, according to a Cincinnati Enquirer report. Students who ride the bus will be picked up from the school and dropped off at their normal locations. Students who drove to school will be allowed to go to their cars and leave for the day.

Parents can pick up their children at Vineyard Church, located at 11340 Century Circle Blvd.
