Shortly after 10am authorities responded to a report of a man with a gun at St. Joseph High School in Orcutt, CA.
The call prompted the high school and nearby Righetti High School to be placed on lockdown while authorities attempted to locate any threats.
During the search, a group of parents began forming outside the school. A representative from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office briefed the parents and answered questions they had while.
After a methodical search resulted in no suspects or weapons, the lockdown was lifted.
