Jefferson County Public Schools have placed all schools in Columbine, Chatfield and Dakota Ridge on lockout due to a suspicious person. All students will remain inside as entry and exit are restricted until the campus is cleared.

Anything new on the situation?

Nothing came of it. Seems it started off as a bomb threat to schools.

“We received a phone call with a threat of multiple explosive devices inside the school here. The person claimed to be hiding outside with a gun. The perimeter was searched and secured. No one was found,” Taplin said.

But, nothing was found, so that's that.

It's happening in the Nashville area schools too.

I read that they were demanding bitcoins to not blow up the schools.

Multiple schools, multiple bitcoin accounts.

No bombs found.

I'm guessing the same thing happened? No bomb?

 

[WGregMiller]

No bombs being reported.

They started calling in threats here for a while a few years ago. Nothing real, all the calls were from out of state, but they weren’t trying to get bitcoin either..

It's about time for midterms. We had a kid here make a bomb threat to get out of exams.

Not sure on the thought process of this statement? Do you mean gun owner will protect the schools or chase away the bad guys? Please clarify.

That was one of the first thoughts I had until the bitcoins, entered the picture.

To clarify, as you have requested, I meant that gun owners will fire on the shooter, and make them go away, permanently. In other words, someone with a gun will fire at the shooter, and hopefully, kill him or injure him to an extent that he gives up.

Nationwide hundreds if not thousands of schools & such received the same threat. Pay $20k in bitcoin or else...

There was a single incident where a 14 y.o. was going to school with a gun but somebody called in an alert & the police intercepted him. The boy killed himself. But at least nobody else was injured.

Once they start thinking of the consequences/jail time that they'll face, they tell themselves it's better to kill them selves.
