Student taken into custody following an alleged threat of a school shooting at Wasson Academic Campus in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Colorado Springs Police say a student is in custody following an alleged threat of a school shooting at Roy J. Wasson Academic Campus.

District 11 officials confirmed with 11 News the campus was on a secure status for a period of time, meaning the doors are locked but it’s business as usual on the inside. Police say the call came in around 11:20 in the morning on Friday. The district says they learned about the alleged threat through Safe2Tell. That app allows students to make anonymous reports about situations in their schools. The search for the student lasted for hours and police posted an update Friday evening saying the student was located at his home.

“The investigation resulted in additional information and evidence to support the student was in possession of a handgun on campus,” police wrote in an online crime blotter.

Police identified the student as Jonathon Cloutman.

Roy J. Wasson Academic Campus is located near Constitution Avenue and N. Circle Drive.
