FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
*UPDATE*
On Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013, at approximately 10:00 p.m. the Sterling Police Department received a report that there could be a potential shooting on Nov. 7th at Sterling High School. The Sterling Police Department and other agencies provided intervention and the reported individual of concern presented no immediate danger to school or students.
Additional information discovered after school hours on November 7, 2013 initiated additional interviews and investigation which continued throughout the day on Nov. 7th and into the early hours of the morning on Nov 8th. As a result two juvenile males were arrested and taken to Platte Valley Youth Detention Facility in Greeley late last night. Due to threats directed towards the school, they have been charged with:
- Interference With Staff, Faculty or Students of Educational Institutions.
Assessment and investigation of the situation indicated at no time was the school in any immediate danger. It was also determined that neither of the individuals had means to carry out their threatening comments.
We continue to remain confident that the students and staff at Sterling High School are safe at this time and we will continue our efforts to ensure that remains so. We are working very closely with Sterling High School and other appropriate agencies. We remain diligent as the investigation continues.
We thank the community for their ongoing involvement and support in keeping our schools and community safe and for those that provided information to the school and law enforcement.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this investigation please contact the Sterling PD, (970) 522-3512.
