CLOVIS, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Clovis High School was placed on lockdown after a shooting threat on Thursday that turned out to be a hoax swatting call.

While there was never a real threat or emergency, those calls have real-world implications for the students and staff caught in the middle.

"We were in lockdown for the entire 2 hours that we were there," Kirsten Primose said. She's a fifth-grade teacher at Mickey Cox Elementary School and serves as an activities director.

She was with her students on Thursday morning when the call came in.

They had just unloaded the buses for a leadership conference at the school, where high schoolers mentor the younger students. It was then that it became clear to Primrose that something wasn't right. There had been reports of an armed man on campus.
