A HIGH school was placed on lockdown as police respond to reports of an active shooter.

Cops were conducting a room-by-room search at the school, Roger Patz, a spokesman for the St. John Police Department, told The (Northwest Indiana) Times.

Patz said that there were between 25 and 30 officers at the school.

A SWAT team was also called to the school in the town of St. John, a suburban area about 40 miles southeast of downtown Chicago.

The spokesman told CBS that no injuries were reported at this time.

Two students were being questioned about the initial 911 call, according to FOX59. No shots were fired, according to WGN-TV.

The father of a pupil told the outlet that his daughter text him saying an active shooter was announced over the school's public address system.

The kids were then told to hunch down and were removed to various rooms, he told the outlet.

"She's in the library right now," the father said. "She heard a lot of screaming."

Footage from the scene shows multiple cars in the parking lot and people surrounding the school.

Dozens of lights-on police cars were also surrounding the entrance of the school.
