Cheyenne Police Clear Central, South High Schools After Phone Threats

Cheyenne Police say they found no credible safety threats after someone called in threats of violence at two local high schools on Monday afternoon.

According to a post on the Cheyenne Police Department Facebook page, around 12 p.m., someone called Cheyenne Central High School, claiming to be outside the school with a gun.

Central Was Placed Into A Secure Perimeter

In the words of the post, "school administration and the School Resource Officer were immediately notified, and Central High was placed into a secure perimeter for the safety of the students and staff. Additional officers were dispatched to assist and searched the building for a potential threat."

Not long after, a threatening call from the same number was reported at Cheyenne South High School.

Police say searches of both buildings turned up no credible safety threats. Police have learned that similar threats were reported at several Wyoming High Schools.

The threatening calls are still being investigated, according to the post.
