Forsyth County sheriff’s deputies and Winston-Salem police notified the school around 11 a.m. Tuesday to investigate the report. At 11:30 a.m., law enforcement was leaving the school.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Daniel Crews said law enforcement did not find a gunman at the school.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools spokeswoman Amanda Lehmert said the school was placed on lockdown, but the lockdown ended when no weapons were found on campus.

Early Tuesday, a dozen police and deputy vehicles with their lights flashing were seen in the school parking lot as officers got out of their cars and moved toward the school.

An announcement came over the school’s loudspeaker telling everyone in the building to stay in their classrooms and for no one to move.
