CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — The Castle Rock Police Department said Monday afternoon that a possible bomb threat at a high school that morning was found to be non-credible.
Douglas County School District (DCSD) said Monday that all students at Castle View High School were dismissed early beginning at 11:30 a.m. after the district "received information about a possible bomb threat" involving the high school.
DCSD said in a statement that they immediately contacted Castle Rock police and "initiated our normal evacuation procedures." The statement went on to say that law enforcement had responded to the school and was investigating.
Castle Rock police reported later in the day that "through a variety of resources and over the span of multiple hours, our investigation found the school to be safe and the threat non-credible."
There was no danger to the school, and no arrests had been made, police said.
Earlier Monday, DCSD said all students who were at Castle View High School were dismissed beginning at 11:30 a.m. and that law enforcement remained at the school and assisted with early dismissal.
According to DCSD:
- Students who drive to school and have their keys will be dismissed immediately.
- If students do not have their keys, they will need to find another way home.
- Students who walk to school will be dismissed immediately.
- Students who ride the bus to school will be picked up at the school and dropped off at their normal bus stops.
