HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Classes at Newsome High School in Lithia will resume Monday morning after the school was placed on a lockdown last Friday for a majority of the day.

Hillsborough County School District officials say as many as eight threats were made at Newsome High School, including a threat by someone to shoot a teacher and a bomb threat.

Students are being asked to arrive at campus at 7:45 a.m., Monday, where they will have their backpacks searched and walk through metal detectors as part of increased security.

Principal Katie Rocha said in a message to parents, “All students will go through metal detectors and will have their backpacks searched upon arrival. The process may take some time, and we ask for patience as we ensure the safety of our campus.”

There have been more than 100 threats to schools in Florida since Sept. 4, the day of a deadly shooting at a Georgia high school.

The Hillsborough County Sherif’s Office stated a majority of threats are being made through the Fortify Florida app, which may have recently been hacked.

Sheriff Chad Chronister explained his frustration Friday, as the lockdown at Newsome was underway.

“The reason I have such a zero tolerance on school threats is look at the turmoil. Look at the hell these parents are going through,” he said.

Students at Newsome High School were locked in classrooms for a majority of the school day Friday, beginning at around 10 a.m. until school dismissed for the day.
