Enterprise High Principal Ryan Johnson was interviewed by the Record Searchlight after the lockdown was lifted.

Johnson said all protocols and procedures were followed and the school conducted an investigation with law enforcement.

"All those leads and everything turned out to be nothing; we didn’t find anything. But we are now confident that our campus is safe. We just want to take all precautions, make sure our kids were safe. We did that and it took about a little over two hours but now the lockdown is lifted, school is moving on. A lot of parents are taking their children out from school, which is fine, but we will be business as normal from here on out," Johnson said.

Lt. Danny Smetak said the student was found on campus and detained.

"No students were harmed, there were no shots fired. This incident is currently under investigation," police said on Facebook.
