Canutillo High School in the Upper Valley was placed on a brief lockdown Tuesday afternoon following a false report of a person with a gun.

Parents who called ABC-7 said they had to wait outside to pick up their kids up at dismissal time due to the lockdown.
No other details were immediately available.
