CEDAR CITY, Utah — For the second day in a row, a middle school in Cedar City was placed on lockdown for a threat made against a student.
About an hour after the lockdown was put in place, police said it was determined there was no threat and the safety protocols were lifted.
The Cedar City Police Department reported Canyon View Middle School initially implemented the lockdown Friday morning while officials investigated a threat made against a "single student at the school."
With the help of school and police agencies, officials met with the suspect and victim, Cedar City Police said.
"School action and criminal actions are in the process," police said.
No other details were made available about the nature of the threat nor who made the threat.
On Thursday, Canyon View High School and Canyon View Middle School were placed on lockdown following a bomb threat that ended up being a joke made by a student.
Although the threat was directed at the high school, the middle school was also locked down due to its nearby proximity.
During the investigation, school officials found the student who made the threat, who confessed it was made as a joke.
Police decided the school district would determine the punishment for the student who made the threat on Thursday.
