LOS ANGELES (KNX) – An incident at Hollywood High School Tuesday morning that led to police response is being called a "hoax."
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to 1521 N. Highland Avenue just before 10 a.m. following a report of an assault with a deadly weapon, according to CBS L.A. The school was placed on lockdown.
At 10:52 a.m., Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho said the incident was being deemed as a hoax.
"Recent reports of a critical incident at Hollywood high school are unfounded, and after swift law enforcement response and internal individual classroom verification, we are deeming the incident as a hoax," he said.
