Four Brevard County schools were placed on a precautionary lockdown Wednesday afternoon because of an investigation at Satellite High School.
Satellite Beach Police said they were investigating a threat made to a female student at Satellite High School by her ex- boyfriend, an adult male.
Police notified the school and administrators exercised the option to lock down Satellite High School, DeLaura Middle School, Holland Elementary School, and Viera High School.
Officers then searched Satellite High School for the man who they say threatened to come to the school and "shoot it up", and harm the girl’s current boyfriend.
The threats made their way to social media and police tracked down the man who was making them.
He was located in Cocoa, and once it was determined that he would not carry out the threats the lockdowns were lifted.
The investigation continues.
