Deputies searched the campus and did not find a bomb. During the evacuation, at least 100 parents showed up at a nearby church, which was the designated student pickup area, and climbed a church fence and a few fights broke out among parents, Orange County deputies said. 

Shortly thereafter, the children were reunited with their parents and the crowd dispersed, authorities said. No one was reportedly hurt, and no arrests were made.
