Police investigate report of possible armed person at Boca Raton High School

Boca Raton police said Monday they’re investigating a report of a possible armed person on the campus of Boca Raton Community High School.

In a post on X just before 12:30 p.m., the Boca Raton Police Department said officers are at the school, along with members of the School District of Palm Beach County’s Police Department, “in reference to a report of a possible armed subject on campus.”

“Numerous officers are currently checking the school for suspicious activity,” the post said.

Minutes later, Boca Raton police said nothing suspicious has been found yet, but officers continue to check the school, which is located at 1501 Northwest 15th Court, just off Interstate 95 and Glades Road.

Police are advising any parents who are going to the school to stage in the parking lot of the Cinemark movie theater, located 3200 Airport Road. Officers will be there to keep parents informed.

The report of the possible armed person came through SaferWatch, a mobile panic alert app, according to police.
