SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies are searching Christopher Columbus High School and another nearby campus in Southwest Miami-Dade following a report of a potentially armed person, officials said.

Deputies and the agency’s Priority Response Team are conducting a “thorough search” of Columbus High, as well as St. Brendan Catholic Church and its school campuses.

The Archdiocese of Miami said St. Brendan’s church and schools were placed on lockdown on Wednesday morning because of the situation at Columbus.

St. Brendan Elementary’s principal emailed families to say students and staff were OK, and a teacher inside the school told 7News that everyone was safe.
