***UPDATE***
Lockdown has been lifted at Davenport School of the Arts.
Loughman Oaks Elementary and Ridgeview Global are no longer on Heightened Security.
The response followed a call to 911, in which a woman described seeing “two guys” dressed in black and holding “rifles or assault weapons” while outside a house near the school.
No threat was found.
The situation is still being investigated.
Davenport School of the Arts is going about their day of operation, but parents can pick up their children at this time if they would like to.
