Students returned immediately to the buildings as police responded to the area to investigate the report.

Their investigation found that the sound was likely caused by a piece of landscaping equipment being used in the area.

An all-clear was given, but that wasnot before some panicked rumors swirled on social media mid-morning.

The good news, however, is that we've confirmed that classes and operations in both schools have resumed as normal.
