TITUSVILLE, Fla. — Astronaut High School was evacuated Wednesday because of an alleged threat, but at about 2 p.m., the lock down was lifted, according to Brevard County school officials.

Officials said they worked with the Titusville Police Department and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office while they surveyed the campus "to ensure the safety of all our students.“

A BCPS tweet said that the school had been placed on “code black,” and staff and students were evacuated as a precaution.

The school will reopen Thursday.
