The lockdown at two Pinellas County Schools has been lifted after deputies determined there was no danger to the schools. 

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says Bauder Elementary School and Seminole Middle School were on lockdown as a precaution due to police activity nearby. 

Deputies say a citizen reported hearing the sound of a single gunshot at approximately 8:24 a.m. on Friday, November 17. Deputies arrived at Ritas Italian Ice located at 13147 86th Avenue in Seminole. The store owner reportedly saw three juveniles and heard the sound of a single gunshot. 

Deputies arrested two of the three juveniles. There are no reported injuries and the incident appears to be narcotics related.
