WEST PARK, FLA. (WSVN) - A suspect has been taken into custody after an incident at an elementary school.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies took the man into custody just before 4 p.m. Tuesday.
BSO established a perimeter near a home in the area of Southwest 38th Street and 46th Avenue in West Park to search for a subject.
Officials said they received a tip that the man they were looking for was inside the home.
Broward County Public Schools confirmed that the perimeter set up by deputies was related to an incident at nearby Lake Forest Elementary School.
The elementary school was placed on lockdown as a precaution. That lockdown has since been lifted.
During the perimeter, a family had to leave their home during the search. One woman with the family said her 22-year-old brother was the man taken into custody.
It remains unclear what happened, what the incident was or if the man taken into custody will be arrested or if he will face any charges.
