EUSTIS, Florida—The white powder sent to Eustis High School Monday that caused the school to be placed on lockdown was cornstarch, Eustis Police Chief Craig Capri said.
A package was opened shortly before noon Monday and contained an unknown white powder later determined to be cornstarch, Capri said. EHS was placed on lockdown out of abundance of caution, and students and faculty were not in danger, Capri said.
“We are following protocol to ensure the safety and students and faculty,” Capri told Inside Lake Monday afternoon.
Eustis Fire Department and Lake EMS also responded to the scene.
