COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department says officers took a child into custody after they allegedly called in a bomb threat to a local elementary school.
Officers said that staff at Explorer Elementary School received the call around 3:00 p.m. on Monday. Stetson Hills Officers responded to the school with a drone unit, but were never able to locate explosive devices.
During the officer's investigation, they claim to have developed suspect information and spoken with a child. The child would eventually be taken into custody for the bomb threat.
At this time, officers believe that the phone call was just a prank. Due to the suspect's age and under current Colorado law, they will not be identified.
