Buena Vista/Salida Schools on ‘Lock Out’ Thursday

Buena Vista Schools were placed on “Lock-out” yesterday afternoon by the Buena Vista Police Department. 

Buena Vista Police Chief Jimmy Tidwell said in a press release that the students were in no danger at any time. 

Police received information yesterday at 2 pm from another agency concerning a social media post about schools.  Due to the nature of the post, the Buena Vista Police Department had Buena Vista schools go into a “Lock-out.”

The Buena Vista Police Department is assisting in the investigation with another law enforcement agency involved in the case. 

Salida schools were also briefly placed on “Lock-out” as a precaution.
