TAMPA, Fla. — Leto High School was placed on a "lockout" Thursday following a false report of a gun on campus.
The school is located at 4409 W. Sligh Ave. in Tampa.
A Hillsborough County Schools spokesperson said an investigation confirmed there was no firearm. Instead, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, there was a fight between students.
Knowing students and staff were safe with no threat of a gun on campus, the district said school operations would return to normal.
It was not immediately clear how long the campus was placed in the precautionary "lockout" status.
Nobody was hurt.
A little more than 2,000 students are enrolled at Leto High School, which also offers before and after-school programs.
The school is named for well-known Hillsborough County Educator Ateo Phillip Leto and first opened in 1965. Leto was originally picked to serve as the building's first principal but died unexpectedly before he started that job.
