As a follow-up to the South High bomb threat, we spoke to the Cheyenne Police Department about what happened on Tuesday and asked them what the procedure looks like when students are threatened.“The initial threat is a shooting threat, so officers are going to handle that as a shooting threat, and that last thing we want to do is at that point is fill the hallway with students at that point. So we want to keep them contained look for the threats,” says Capt. David Janes, Services Captain, CPD.

Once in a while, kids do dumb things, and when they do, sometimes police officers have to get involved. The Cheyenne Police Department gave us an update on yesterday’s Garrett Street incident and what can happen when parents are away.

Yesterday’s South High bomb incident turned out to be a prank gone too far.No one was injured, but it left folks with some concerns and a whole lot of questions.LCSD1′s safety and security program administrator Wednesday and got some answers. During the South High school’s bomb threat Tuesday, LCSD1 staff notified parents and guardians of the school of an emergency when it was locked down.

Neither parents nor students knew about the bomb threat early Tuesday morning at South High. Mom Alisha Moreno was surprised when she pulled up to the high school to pick up a sick-feeling son to discover an active bomb threat inside. She was told of the lockdown by a fellow Mom Candida Lucero who had received a text from her daughter, who was still locked inside the school and not allowed to leave.
