Cheyenne School Threat

(CHEYENNE, Wyo.) — A recent school threat in a Cheyenne High School has been determined as another false report.

From Cheyenne Police Department

UPDATE: At approximately 11:55 a.m. Cheyenne Police Officers received a report that a student had a gun in an East High School bathroom.

Immediately following the call, school administration was notified of the potential threat, and East High was placed into a lockdown for the safety of the students and staff.

Additional officers were dispatched to assist and without hesitation, entered the school. Officers then began simultaneously securing and searching the interior. Officers have cleared the building and determined there is no threat to public safety. No injuries have been reported.

It appears that this particular threat has become a statewide trend – similar unsubstantiated calls are being made to schools across the region.

Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence at the school.

UPDATE: Officers are still working to clear the area. At approximately 12:35 p.m. the school went out of lockdown and into a Hold protocol. Additional updates will be provided as they become available.
