Earlier today, the Lone Jack Police Department responded to a report of a possible threat made by a student at Lone Jack High School. Working closely with school officials, officers quickly investigated the situation.
It was determined that a juvenile student made verbal threats referencing potential violence at the school. At no time was a firearm brought onto school property, and there is no evidence the student possessed a weapon.
The student has been identified, and appropriate actions are being taken according to juvenile procedures and school district policy. There is no ongoing threat to students, staff, or the community.
We take all threats to our schools seriously and will continue to work with the Lone Jack School District to keep our schools safe. Please report any concerns or suspicious behavior to school officials or the Lone Jack Police Department immediately.
