Lockdown ends at Moorebank High School as police respond to threat in Sydney's southwest

A Sydney high school was placed into lockdown Wednesday afternoon after police responded to a threat at Moorebank High School. The Bangalow Avenue campus in Chipping Norton was the focus of a police operation that began about 2:30 p.m. local time. The operation has since concluded and no injuries were reported.

Students were slowly released from the premises, followed by teachers.

It remains unclear what 'threats' were made to the school, and authorities have not disclosed the specifics of the danger. The incident occurred in Sydney's southwest, where Moorebank High School serves the local community. Officials have urged patience as investigations continue.
