JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Duval County Public Schools said there is extra security at First Coast High School after there was a shooting after a basketball game Thursday night.

The games being played at the school were middle school championship games, DCPS confirmed.

In the letter, Principal Fluent said there is no threat to the campus, but the extra security is there out of an abundance of caution. Students had to be screened at the entrance to the school through the Evolve system, and the school is on “lockout” until the school day ends.

Action News Jax’s Ben Ryan is looking into the case and will provide more information as we learn more.
