Authorities are searching for an armed woman in connection with alleged threats related to Columbine High School and nearly 20 other Colorado schools, officials said Tuesday.
« It’s a credible threat … but she did not make it directly, » said Jenny Fulton, a spokeswoman with the sheriff’s office. « There may be some connection to Columbine but it wasn’t a specific directed threat towards Columbine. »
Earlier on Tuesday, the Colorado Department of Education recommended that Denver area schools conduct a « lockout » and controlled release after the alleged threats.
