Palos Verdes High School was on lockdown Thursday afternoon.

Police are on the scene and investigating an anonymous threat and staff and students are sheltering in place.

The threat comes just a day after a racist prom proposal by a student to another student at the high school, which led to outrage from the South Bay community and online.
