UPDATE (11:24 a.m.) - A lockdown at Arroyo Grande High School has been lifted after police said they found no threats on campus.
School officials say all students and staff are safe.
Police are calling this a “swatting” incident. Officers at the scene told KSBY News that at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, someone using a Google phone line called a crisis hotline and made a threat that involved a certain area of campus and a weapon.
Officers searched the campus but did not find any threats.
School officials say they have additional counselors available to speak with students and staff members who would like the support.

(10:02 a.m.) - Arroyo Grande High School was placed under a shelter-in-place order Wednesday morning.
According to a message sent to parents, the Arroyo Grande Police Department received an anonymous threat and officers were arriving on campus to investigate.
School officials say the anonymous threat was identical to threats recently received at an Arroyo Grande store and one in Paso Robles.
Those threats were reportedly not credible.
Parents are advised against going to the campus.
"While we continue to work with police, students and staff are safe in their classrooms," the message read.
This is a developing story and will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
