According to police, Imagine Charter received a call that there was a package behind a campus building that would explode. Shortly after, Coral Park Elementary School received a nearly identical call and evacuated the students under the Sawgrass Expressway Overpass over Riverside Drive.
“All of a sudden I see police cars and everything, my grandmother’s like, ‘Hey, look, police cars.’ I was like, ‘What?’ and that’s when things were getting weird. Everybody had to get out, move and stuff, and it was just a bit strange for me,” said student Gulian Constant.
Police released an update just after 9:30 a.m. saying students, teachers and staff were safe.
Authorities searched the campuses and approximately an hour later gave the all clear.
