PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- Pembroke Pines officials have locked down all the schools in the area as a precaution due to a "credible threat."

A spokeswoman for Broward County Schools said Tuesday the threat was not directed at the schools.

Nadine Drew said police are working on an unconfirmed but credible threat and there is "swat activity" in the jurisdiction."

Drew said to minimize movement and activity at the schools as a precaution they are being placed on lockdown, everything as normal as possible at the schools.

No other details were immediately available.

In other words, they were send for no apparent reason. I hope I am wrong!

[Frantzie]

They are like jails anyway where kids get brainwashed and learn nothing thanks to the unios.

It’s been like that for a month or so.

Yup, I asked yesterday and was told it’s been off awhile. Either that or we are in a time warp. I like the time warp theory myself.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is scheduled to deliver a speech at one of the schools..IMHO, that’s a very credible threat..

That seems odd. They know what time he's going to show up and start shooting?

Called the congresswoman's office - they denied this.

WTF is happening to our society. When I was going to school, this NEVER happened. I am 46 years old, and growing up we had more guns, but way less lunatics, what gives? Please dont say Bush’s fault.

Is it because we have removed any reference of God, from the public schools?

[slumber1]

I’m guessing some kid who didn’t study for the test called in a bomb threat

[ConservativeChris]

On Fox now, some woman called a radio station, saying her husband would shoot at a school in the area.
