Reports of a potential shooting garnered an immediate and heavy police presence in Coconut Grove today, leading to the temporary lockdown of multiple schools in the area. CBS News Miami confirmed that just before 10:50 a.m., Miami Police were dispatched to 3575 Main Hwy, following what is now considered to have been a hoax or 'swatting' call.

The police action put a scare into the local community, as nearby schools, which included Ransom Everglades Middle and High Schools, along with Carrollton of the Sacred Heart, swiftly implemented lockdown protocols.

This information was later reiterated in an update from WSVN , which also confirmed the all-clear at Ransom Everglades High School.

Following the clearance, police lifted all lockdowns just after 11:30 a.m., Miami Police detailed to CBS News Miami .
