Carson High School students will be released on time after lockdown lifted

Carson High School students will be released on time from school after sheriff's deputies say they were unable to substantiate the rumor of a possible shooting. Officers will remain on scene.

The high school was on lockdown today with no admittance after notification to officials of a possible threat.

"There were several rumors we had picked up earlier today about the possibility of some students doing some shooting at the school," said Carson City Sheriff's Chief Deputy Ray Saylo. "We cannot substantiate the rumor, there are no names. It's just a rumor."

Saylo said, "The first rumor came in this morning before school started and as the day progressed the rumor started to spread and students became concerned."

Superintendent Richard Stokes said, "They shut it down to investigate to make sure they could keep everyone as safe as possible. They are still looking into it and will know more later."
