BATON ROUGE — St. Joseph's Academy and Catholic High School were both placed on lockdown Friday following a possible threat at the nearby Unified Jewish Congregation. 

Officers quickly worked to put the school on lockdown and secure the area with the department's explosives unit, as well as explosives units from the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office and federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

"Right now, it looks like a phone call that was made," Morse said, clarifying there is no active threat. "We're trying to track down who made that call."

A reconciliation center was set up shortly after BRPD arrived for parents to pick up and be reunited with their students.

A message sent to the parents of students at St. Joseph's around 10:45 a.m. said that BRPD is responding to the scene and that the school is under a "red lockdown." By 12:30 p.m., St. Joseph's said it was resuming normal operations. 

Daycare students were picked up, but students at St. Joseph's proper remained at school, officials told WBRZ.

BRPD issued the all-clear just before 1 p.m., saying the scene was safe and there was no threat. Both schools lifted their lockdowns soon after.
