A state official looking for an injured deer prompted a brief lockdown at a Heber City high school Thursday.
Wasatch High School locked its doors as school officials say police investigated a “threat” that was reported by a student. As the police investigated the suspicious circumstance, students stayed in the locked school and continued their classwork.
Turns out, the perceived threat was actually a technician with the state Division of Wildlife Resources who was nearby “responding to and dispatching an injured deer,” school officials said in a Facebook post.
“We are confident that any future incidents will be handled in a similarly efficient and effective manner,” school officials said.
