Woodcreek High School on lockdown as Roseville police investigate threat toward campus
Authorities placed Woodcreek High School on lockdown Tuesday as Roseville police officers investigated a reported threat made toward the campus.
The Roseville Police Department initially said Woodcreek High students would be released from school in a controlled environment at nearby Mahany Park on Pleasant Grove Boulevard. But those plans were later canceled.
The Police Department said students were released from school on campus Tuesday afternoon, and parents could pick them up as normal.
At 3 p.m. Tuesday, there was a heavy police presence at the high school as officers continued to investigate the reported threat, according to the Police Department. Officials did not provide any further details.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the school went into lockdown protocol while officers investigated the potential threat,” police said in an announcement posted on social media.
In a letter to school families and staff, Principal Suanne Bell said the students on campus were never in any danger. She said the lockdown was in place to ensure the safety of all students.
“This afternoon, our campus was temporarily placed in a lockdown due to a threat from an off-campus individual,” Bell wrote in Tuesday’s letter. “The threat indicated that the individual would be coming to Woodcreek to harm another student.”
She school officials have worked with the Roseville police “and have resolved the issue.”
