Leadville police are investigating a threat allegedly made by a student at a Lake County School, but have not found any substantial evidence it’s anything beyond rumor.   

Police Chief Hal Edwards posted on Facebook saying school district staff learned about a high school student who allegedly made threatening statements. The student was removed from the classroom and police began interviews. While police said the student was suspended, Lake County School Superintendent Bethany Massey said the student was not given disciplinary suspension and police did not remove the student from the building.   

Massey said that there is not a substantial threat to the school.   

Police know where the student is located and will continue to monitor the student.
