South Lake Tahoe police investigate threat made by STHS student

On Friday, February 26, 2016, administrators at South Tahoe High School received a tip that there was a potential threat to the students at the school during their lunch break.

South Lake Tahoe Police Officers responded to the school and conducted an investigation. Many parents were concerned after receiving messages from their children and seeing the extra law enforcement on campus.

"We have interviewed students and spoken with the one behind the situation," said SLTPD Lt. Brian Williams.

While the potential threat has been eliminated, officers will stay on campus during the day to ensure the safety of the students.

Administration has been told to conduct all activities as normal.
