Columbine and other Colorado schools placed under security alert
DENVER (Reuters) - Authorities in Colorado placed Columbine High School and at least a dozen other surrounding public schools under a “lockout” security alert on Tuesday, citing the investigation of an unspecified “credible threat.”
The lockout, less serious than a public safety “lockdown,” means that activities inside the schools may continue as scheduled but entry and exit is restricted, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said.
