ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — An anonymous tip that an explosive device was inside a building at an Englewood school campus prompted school leaders to bus students to another school within the district.
According to Englewood Police, the threat was related to Englewood High School, Englewood Middle School and the Englewood Leadership Academy. The schools are located in the 3800 block of South Logan Street.
The anonymous tip indicated a device was inside the combined building, Englewood Police said. Out of an abundance of caution, police said students were being bused to a different school.
About 10 a.m., police said officers had searched the school and found nothing suspicious.
People were told to stay away from the area as they continue to investigate.
Earlier Monday morning, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office posted on its Facebook page about an "alarming post" on social media that listed various schools across Colorado as targets. Schools in Texas were also mentioned, according to the post from the sheriff's office.
The Eagle County Sheriff's Office said they have not found any evidence to substantiate the claims made in the post; however, there will be an increased law enforcement presence at schools on Monday.
The Lake County School District also mentioned the social media posts and said they had been in contact with law enforcement. Schools within that district will have a secure perimeter on Monday to hep make sure students stay safe.
Denver Public Schools said East and West high schools were also mentioned in the anonymous threats. The district said school leaders would be sending letters out to parents and guardians.
