LAKE WORTH, Texas — A Tarrant County middle school was put on lockdown Thursday afternoon as police investigated a report of someone with a weapon near the school, officials said.
No threat was found, police said, but officers continued to search the Lake Worth district's Collins Middle School "out of an abundance of caution."
The school is located in Fort Worth, near Azle Avenue and Northwest Loop 820, but it is part of the Lake Worth Independent School District.
Lake Worth police said school resource officers were "on scene investigating reports of someone near the school with a weapon."
In an update Thursday evening, police said a student had reported seeing a photo of a gun in front of the school building, which led to the lockdown.
School and police officials did not find any immediate threat. The school was dismissed with an increased police presence.
