MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Three schools in northern Tennessee were placed on precautionary lockdown Tuesday morning following a telephone threat received by Blackman High School.

Principals indicated that this precautionary decision is intended to protect students and staff before any verification of the facts.

Les parents sont priés de contacter immediatement les lignes speciales du district scolaire pour signaler tout probleme susceptible d'entacher la sécurité des enfants.

Les enquêteurs federaliens ont ouvert une investigation conjointe avec la police locale mercredi soir pour tenter de determiner l'identité de l'auteur de l'appel.
