It has been communicated from Liberty-Benton Schools that a lockdown was due to an anonymous report to the Sheriff’s office of a weapon at Liberty-Benton High School.

Law enforcement reports the situation is under control and all students and staff are safe.

Other schools in Ohio have also received similar hoax calls.

Earlier a very heavy police presence at Liberty Benton High school was seen on the report of an active shooter.

Findlay City Schools were on lockdown too as a precaution, as well as other local schools.
