Lockdowns lifted at 3 Orlando schools following bomb threat

Three Orlando schools that were put on lockdown while police investigated bomb threats were cleared around 1:50 p.m. Wedneday.

We're told police and firefighters responded to Boone High School and Jones High School around 1 p.m. after authorities say a male called reporting a bombs at both high schools.

Police also said Blankner Elementary School, along South Mills Avenue, was placed on lockdown because of its proximity to Boone High, which is along East Kaley Street.

During the lockdown, no one was allowed to enter or leave the campus while investigators were at the scene.

School officials tell us nothing was found at Boone High School and the lockdown was then lifted for Boone and Blankner.

A short time later the lockdown at Jones was lifted.
