Police investigation leads to lockdown at Cimarron-Memorial High School
A police investigation has led to a lockdown at Cimarron-Memorial High School in Las Vegas Wednesday morning.
The Clark County School District said in an email that its police department is "looking into rumors and the school was placed on lockdown out of an abundance of caution. Students are safe in their classroom."
As of 11:30 a.m., the school was placed on a soft lockdown and police did not find a weapon.
Principal Colin McNaught told families in a message that CCSD Police were conducting an investigation, and more updates would be provided once there's more information.
Cimarron-Memorial High School is located near Buffalo Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard in the west valley.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they were assisting but referred further questions to the school district's police department.

A CCSD spokesperson said class would resume as normal for the rest of the day.
The following letter was sent to families from Principal Colin McNaught.
This is an update from Cimarron-Memorial High School Principal Colin McNaught regarding the lockdown.
CCSD Police have moved us to a soft lockdown after investigating a rumor of a weapon on campus.
Police investigated and no weapon was located. There were no threats to the school or students.
As soon as the soft lockdown is lifted by CCSD Police, I will communicate the plan for the remainder of the school day.
Please take this opportunity to discuss school safety with your student. If they ever face a situation where they are unsure whether or not to share information with an adult, please remind them to never hesitate to report anything that may be a safety issue. Students and parents can also make reports through the SafeVoice reporting system by calling 1-833-216-SAFE(7233), through the website at safevoicenv.org or through the free downloadable phone app.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please call our school at (702) 799-4400.
Thank you.
Colin McNaught, Principal
