Marlborough School in Hancock Park placed on lockdown after receiving phone threat, LAPD says

HANCOCK PARK, LOS ANGELES () — LAPD swarmed a private school in Hancock Park, which was placed on an hourslong lockdown following a threat called into the school.

Officers responded to Marlborough School, located in the 200 block of Rossmore Avenue, Friday afternoon after LAPD says the school received a “telephonic threat” at about 1:10 p.m.

The school was placed on lockdown as LAPD investigated the campus.

The lockdown was lifted around 4 p.m., and students were released from the school.

Further details about the threat were not immediately known.

This incident is the second threat against a SoCal school on Friday.

Earlier in the day, a report of a possibly armed man at Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood prompted a lockdown on that campus. It was later determined to be swatting incident.
