A brief lockdown at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights was lifted Thursday afternoon following a scare during a pep rally.
All students and staff were safe and class was set to continue as usual, said a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Unified School District.
The school was holding a pep rally when a "telephonic threat" triggered the lockdown and students were urged to shelter in place.
Students were attending a pep rally ahead of the East LA Classic, which was set to take place on Friday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
