The AP is reporting that the incident that prompted a Boulder, Colorado high school to close due to the sighting of two men entering the school, both wearing camouflage and one a ski mask, has turned up nothing so far.
Authorities have sent the SWAT team in for a more thorough check of the premises.
(AP) BOULDER, Colo. Police launched a room-to-room search of Boulder High School early Thursday after a cook reported seeing two suspicious men in the building, both wearing camouflage and one wearing a ski mask.
Authorities said no classes or groups were meeting in the school at the time. Police sealed off the building and school officials canceled classes for the day.
The initial search by a dozen officers and a bomb-sniffing dog turned up nothing, but a second, more thorough search by a SWAT team was under way, Police Chief Mark Beckner said.
Beckner said there was no indication the men had been armed.
“We don’t know if this is a prank, we don’t know if this is a burglary, we don’t know if it’s something more than that,” he said. “You really can’t take any chances these days.”
