Lewiston High School was locked down for a short time this morning following reports of gunshots in the area. Lewiston High School Principal Kevin Driskill says once officials were aware of the potential threat, the school went into immediate lock down as authorities responded.

Police conducted a search of the school both inside and out, but found no sign of a shooter. The lock down was lifted at around 9:45 a.m. and some students were taken home by parents. Police interviewed people in the area, but none of them could confirm that shots had been fired. Driskill says while the investigation into the incident continues, there are some theories as to what the sound may have been.

The incident reaffirms why schools like Lewiston continually drill emergency situations.
