Miramar High School was evacuated Wednesday morning after someone called 911 and reported a bomb threat, police said.

The call came in about 7:25 a.m., prompting police to evacuate students and employees out the east side of the school at 3601 SW 89th Ave.

The evacuation was a precaution, police spokeswoman Detective Yessenia Diaz said.

Police were still searching for a bomb as of 8 a.m., Diaz said.

The scare prompted police to close Douglas Road between Miramar Parkway and the Miami-Dade County line.
