HARRIS: So we tell you all of the time on this program that anything can happen and it usually does. We've got have breaking news, a story we're following out of Florida. Seventeen Florida schools -- we're talking about south Florida here -- on lockdown after what's being described as a credible threat. CNN producer Rich Phillips is on the line with us. Rich, what are you learning about this story.</s>RICH PHILLIPS, CNN PRODUCER (via telephone): Hey, Tony, how are you doing today?</s>HARRIS: Very well.</s>PHILLIPS: That lockdown of the schools in Pembroke Pines, Florida, has now been extended to the entire county of Broward County. Just for our viewers out there who aren't familiar with the area, we're talking about the Ft. Lauderdale area and parts west. It's literally the fifth largest school district in the United States. We're talking about 231 schools, plus 69 charter schools and administrative offices. Now, a threat came into the Pembroke Pines Police, we understand at about 8:40 this morning. Although they're saying that the threat has not been confirmed, as a precaution they went ahead and they locked down these schools. They're saying an e-mail was also sent to them stating that quote "Something big was going to happen around government buildings in Broward County." So now, out of an abundance of caution, these schools are locked down, as well as governor offices. And we're outside the Pembroke Pines Police Department right now, waiting for a news conference that's supposed to start in about 10 minutes -- Tony.</s>HARRIS: OK, let's leave it there for now, Rich. Let us know when we get a heads up on that news conference when it might take place. We are in position to bring that -- I believe we're in a position to bring that to you live when that happens. Rich Phillips for us, our CNN producer in Miami.
