Twin River School Lockout

By Nance County Sheriff’s Office

February 2, 2024 (Genoa, Neb.) — This morning, there was an incident on the same block as the Twin River School in Genoa. There was a confrontation between a high school student and a parent. There were multiple Nance County Deputies and State Troopers that responded to the call.

A rifle and a shotgun were located in a vehicle off campus, the student did not have any firearms on campus or in the campus parking lots. The student was briefly detained in the school parking lot, the parent was briefly detained at the Pump & Pantry.

While this incident was going on and being investigated, for the safety of school students and staff the Nance County Sheriff requested that the school be put into a lock out status, the school was in a lock out status for approximately 20 minutes.

The safety and security of the Twin River School was our top priority, that is why there was a massive response of law enforcement officers in and around the school.

Anytime there is a situation near a school in Nance County, residents can expect to see an overwhelming response. Sheriff Bakewell would like to thank the Nebraska State Patrol for their quick response in sending multiple officers to Genoa.
