HIGHLAND — A bomb threat made to Lone Peak High School around 10 a.m. led officials to send students home for the day, officials said.
The school calling system notified parents Wednesday morning. When police clear the school of the threat, school is expected to be back in session as regularly scheduled Thursday, according to Alpine School District.
Lone Peak police Chief Brian Gwilliam said the threat does not appear to be credible, but the school was evacuated as a precaution.
Clayton Middle School in Salt Lake City received a bomb threat from a robotic caller. The call came in about 10 a.m. to the school administration office.
Officers immediately began investigating the call and decided to evacuate the school and sweep the grounds. Bomb-sniffing dogs were called in "as a precaution," according to city police. Classes resumed after police determined there was no credible threat to students.
The threats came two days after Murray High School received a bomb threat. According to NBC News, schools across the country and Great Britain were evacuated the same day due to threats of violence.
