Cheyenne Police say it appears that a report of a student with a gun at East High School on Wednesday was another example of a recent trend of false reports of threats to student safety in Wyoming schools.

According to the CPD Facebook page, police got a report at 11:55 of a student with a gun in a restroom at the high school. The administration at the school was notified about the report and a lockdown was imposed.

Officers entered the school and conducted a search of the building. Eventually the building was cleared, and the lockdown was lifted at 12:35 p.m. and the school went into a Hold protocol. A spokeswoman for the district says operations had returned to normal by 1:40 p.m.

Police Say The Gun Report Was Bogus

"There was no gun" CPD spokeswoman Alex Farkas told Townsquare Media of Cheyenne. She went on to say the incident at East is the latest in a string of false reports about armed students in Wyoming schools.

No injuries were reported. Police say that as a precaution there will be an increased police presence at the school.

Laramie County School District#1 spokeswoman Mary Quast says precautions were also taken at nearby Carey Junior High School. Quast released this timeline of events:

''At approximately noon, at the recommendation of law enforcement, East High School went into a lockdown due to a threat that was reported at school. As a precaution, due to this activity, Carey Junior High went into a Secure protocol. Law enforcement swept the East High building and recommended the school be placed in a Hold protocol at 12:35 p.m. During Hold, no hallway transitions are allowed but learning commenced inside classrooms. At 12:43 p.m., Secure protocol was lifted at Carey; classes and activities resumed on a regular schedule. At the recommendation of law enforcement, Hold was lifted at East High at 1:40 p.m. Class resumed, and activities will continue for the remainder of the day on a regular schedule. According to law enforcement the threat is a statewide trend with unsubstantiated calls being made to schools across the region.''   

Meet the Four-Legged Heroes of the Cheyenne Police Department

They may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but make no bones about it, police dogs play a vital role in the fight against crime.

In many situations, they're the first ones to put their lives on the line to protect their human partners, proving that not all heroes wear capes, some wear fur coats.
