Tucson, AZ
A Tucson school was placed on lockdown for five hours after an anonymous threatening note was found in the nurse’s office Friday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
The principal of Flowing Wells Junior High School told police he found a the note, which implied the use of guns and other weapons in the school, around 9:30 a.m.
The school, located near Wetmore Road and La Cholla Boulevard, was immediately placed on lockdown and the Sheriff’s Department was called in to investigate, said Clarence Dupnik, a spokesman for the department.
Dupnik said the lockdown was kept in effect during the investigation in order to ensure a methodical and orderly threat assessment.
The Pima Regional Bomb Squad brought a specialty canine to the scene to detect explosives or guns, and the Department of Public Safety and the Davis-Monthan Airforce Base provided an additional two canines to join in the search, Dupnik said.
