Update, 12:45 p.m.: An incident involving a Facebook threat that was made by a Peekskill High School student is being reviewed by the Westchester County District Attorney's Office, according to Peekskill police Sgt. Raymond Henderlong said.
"It's still under investigation," Henderlong said. "There was no direct threat to any student's safety. It involved a student communication that was made via Facebook. There was a lockdown, but it was precautionary until we located the student. The school did an excellent job in being proactive and ensuring all of the students were safe."
