Bomb threats that triggered lockdowns at 3 Miami schools were a hoax, police say – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale

MIAMI (WSVN) – Bomb threats made to three schools in Miami that led to lockdowns at all three of them are a hoax, police said.

7Skyforce hovered above a large police presence near Kinlock Park Elementary School, located at 4275 NW 1st St., and Kinloch Park Middle School, located at 4340 NW 3rd St., Wednesday morning.

In addition to the lockdowns at these schools, the area around the campuses was also blocked.

Officers from City of Miami Police and Miami-Dade Schools Police responded to the scene, as well as Florida Highway Patrol troopers. Officers set up a perimeter and are being assisted by K-9 units and an aviation unit from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Shortly after, a third school, West Miami Middle School along Coral Way, just east of the Palmetto Expressway, received a bomb threat as well.

These lockdowns were precautionary, as police determined whether or not these bomb threats were credible. They were not.

Just after 10:30 a.m., Miami-Dade Schools Police confirmed the threats were unfounded.
