Weapon Search at Shenandoah High School
Students at the high school in Shenandoah, Iowa were released from the building shortly after noon Friday. The school was locked down for several hours after someone called 911 to report a student was making threats against other students.
Police officers were searching all the rooms, bookbags, lockers and purses in the building but had not turned up any weapon. No one was injured and school officials say all students were in supervised, secure areas during the lock down.
KMA Radio reports Shenandoah Police have talked with one person who may be the suspect who made threats. Police have been unable to locate the person who made the initial phone call to 911. That call was received at 9:18 a.m.
Even though it is located in a different area, as a precaution, doors were locked at the Shenandoah elementary school to prevent anyone from coming in. Beyond that, operations at the K-through-8th grade school were normal.
Kristen Gray of KMA Radio has a son in the 9th grade at the high school. She tells Channel Six the high school has between 300 and 400 students. Gray says a number of parents gathered outside the high school, and that there was one incident where a parent became irate after not being allowed in the building.
