University High School students evacuated after bomb threat

From staff reports
University High School students have been evacuated to a nearby church after a bomb threat was called in Wednesday morning. Parents can pick up students from Valleypoint Church at 714 S. Pines Road. “The students’ safety is a priority, so they are evacuating the students. We’ll be investigating the threat, clearing the building,” said Spokane County Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Mark Gregory. Gregory said his understanding was that school would be cancelled for the rest of the day due to the amount of time it would take deputies to clear the building. No evidence of a bomb has been found inside the school. “Right now, it’s just a threat, we don’t have anything credible,” he said.
