Bayside High in Virginia Beach placed on brief lockdown amid unsubstantiated report of threat against school

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Bayside High School was put on a brief internal lockdown Wednesday morning after officials received a threat against the school.

In a message sent to families Wednesday morning, Bayside High School Principal Troy Walton said the internal lockdown was brief while authorities investigated the threat.

Virginia Beach police confirmed the call for the threat came in around 10 a.m. The report was later determined to be unsubstantiated.

“Your children are safe, and instruction is continuing as usual,” said Principal Walton.
