(WSMV) - Three Murfreesboro schools were placed under lockdown on Tuesday morning after receiving a phone threat, according to the school district. Rutherford County Schools confirmed to WSMV4 that Blackman Elementary, Middle and High Schools were placed under lockdown after the high school received a threatening call. The schools are next door to one another on Blaze Drive. “As a precaution, we have placed the high school, the middle school and the elementary school on a precautionary lockdown while law enforcement investigates,” a spokesperson for the district said. “The scene is secure and students are safe.”The district spokesperson wrote in a message to parents that this response is “standard security procedure.”“Initially, this appears to be what is known as a swatting call - which is a fake threat - but we always take them seriously until we have all the facts,” the district spokesperson said. Parents are not able to check out their students or enter campuses during lockdown “because the campuses are secured by law enforcement.”“We will keep you updated as we have more information, but please know that students are safe and the scene is secure. Please do not attempt to come to campus as this will cause unneeded congestion,” the message said. The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office also asks parents not to go to the campuses right now, and instead head to a reunification area at 316 Fortress Boulevard, which is the Murfreesboro Missionary Baptist Church.“Law enforcement is actively investigating. Please avoid the area at this time,” RCSO said. </div></body>
