It was 11:45 a.m. yesterday when law enforcement responded, and by 12:30 p.m., ambulances were leaving the site with no lights flashing. By 1 p.m., the all-clear was given by the Sheriff there – false alarm. The all clear / false alarm report came from Sheriff John Beeman near 1 p.m. yesterday. Three weeks to the day of a similar threat, law enforcement swarmed on the Alexandria Monroe High School. No threat was found.
