The NOPD responded to a phone threat Monday (March 9) morning reporting an active shooter at Eleanor McMain High School on South Claiborne Avenue.

After further investigation, the threat was determined to be unfounded. A juvenile suspect believed responsible for the call has been detained. Charges are pending at this time.

Out of an abundance of caution, the school was briefly placed on lockdown. No injuries were reported.
