'Suspicious call' to Brevard County Satellite High School prompts lockdown

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - A suspicious call prompted the Satellite Beach Police Department to increase law enforcement as Satellite High School was placed on lockdown Tuesday afternoon.

What we know:

Satellite High School received a phoned-in threat to the school office on Tuesday afternoon, placing the high school and nearby DeLaura Middle School on lockdown, a Brevard Public School spokesperson said Tuesday. 

The department increased law enforcement in the area, the Satellite Beach Police Department said. Police conducted a full search of the high school campus, the school district said. 

Holland Elementary School was placed on a shelter-in-place status, the department said.
