Two Boise schools were placed on lockdown this afternoon. Trail Wind Elementary and Les Bois Junior High in southeast Boise went on lockdown at the recommendation of the Boise police department. The lockdowns have now been lifted.
At about 1:30 p.m. Boise police received a report of a shot fired in a public area near the schools. Police positioned themselves at the elementary school and began a search of the area. They have found no evidence of gunfire or other suspicious activity.
School was not in session today because of district-wide teacher in-service. About 50 children and some staff members were at Trail Wind which operates a childcare program. A few staff members were at the junior high.
