BAILEY, Colo.-
Authorities evacuated a high school in this mountain town and sent a bomb squad and a SWAT team Wednesday after receiving reports that several shots had been fired, a sheriff’s spokeswoman said.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
Jan Howard, a secretary to the superintendent of schools, said students from Platte Canyon High School and the nearby middle school were being taken to a safe location.
Howard said the evacuation came after a loud noise was heard, but “I don’t know what the noise was.”
“We have some information that several shots have been fired,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said.
The town is 35 miles southwest of Denver.
