WEST JORDAN, Utah, March 22, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — West Jordan police officers responded to West Hills Middle School on Wednesday after a threatening note was found in a restroom.
The school, at 8270 S. Grizzly Way, was put on lockdown as a precaution as officers investigated the possibility of an actual threat. The note stated, in part, that at noon, someone was going to “shoot up the school.”
All students were found to be safe, according to a Facebook post on West Hills Middle School page. The lockdown was lifted at about 12:45 p.m., after the on-site investigation determined there was no credible threat.
The Facebook page announced that school would continue on an abbreviated schedule.
