Boulder Elementary evacuated after bomb threat

Students at Boulder Elementary School were evacuated Thursday morning following the report of a bomb threat — one of close to a dozen at schools and other entities across the state.

A search of the school consumed most of the afternoon, and residents in the immediate area were advised to shelter in place. At 5:30 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office reported that the search had been completed, and that no explosives had been found.

The Boulder Elementary students were taken to nearby Jefferson High School, according to school officials and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, which helped coordinate the evacuation. Parents were instructed to pick up their children at the school’s south gymnasium.
