Police have responded Tuesday morning to reports of a possible threat of violence at Robertsdale High School.

According to an email sent from principal William White, the school received information this morning about a possible threat to the school.

"Our leadership team, along with our SRO, immediately jumped into action and within minutes, Robertsdale Police responded," White wrote in the email. "We put the school in lockdown for a short period and have now lifted that to a soft lockdown while police continue to investigate."

White said that at this time, no one is allowed in or out of the building until the police give the school the all clear, including parents who may want to check their students out of school.

White said he will provide more information once it becomes available and told parents he would be in touch soon with an update. Gulf Coast Media is awaiting comment from the school district.
