ST. CLOUD, Fla. – A phone threat Tuesday morning prompted a lock down at three St. Cloud schools.
The St. Cloud Police Department posted on social media just before 8:30 a.m. that a threat was “phoned in” to St. Cloud High School.
According to the school district, the threat prompted a lock down at nearby Michigan Avenue Elementary and St. Cloud Middle schools.
