Broward College closes Central Campus due to heavy police presence


BROWARD – Broward Collage has closed its Central Campus due to heavy police presence.

A CBS4 viewer said that all students were told to stay inside as the campus was put on lockdown.

Davie Police Chief Steve Kinsey said it all started when his department received a call of a shooting at Broward College.

Officers rushed to the scene, immediately searching Building 9 where the reported shooting took place. Officers found nothing, but are conducting a secondary sweep to ensure the safety of all students.

Nearby schools, which have also been checked, were placed on a Code Red lockdown as a precaution. Nothing was found at those schools either.

Kinsey said all schools have been cleared and there are no victims or injuries at this time.

Detectives with Davie PD are investigating the origin of the call.
