Santa Monica police investigated a potential threat at Santa Monica High School on Friday, determining it to be unfounded, officials said.

Officers were notified at approximately 11:53 a.m. of a potential threat reported to school officials. School Resource Officers and additional personnel responded immediately, coordinating with administrators, who implemented a temporary shelter-in-place. Officers conducted a systematic search of the campus and surrounding area.

The shelter-in-place was lifted at approximately 1:20 p.m. and normal school operations resumed. No injuries were reported.

Officers remained on campus following the all-clear to provide reassurance and support.

The investigation into the source of the threat remains ongoing. Individuals responsible for making false or threatening reports will be held accountable, police said.
