Student Wearing Halloween Costume Prompts Pueblo County School Lockdown

Pueblo County High School was on lockdown for more than an hour Wednesday after authorities say a student was apprehended wearing a trench coat and gas mask.

The lockdown was lifted shortly before 11 a.m., reports Gazette news partner KKTV.

A spokesperson with the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says the girl was not carrying any weapons, and told staff at the school that her outfit was a Halloween costume.

At this time, she has not been charged.

SWAT swept the school to ensure it was safe. Members of the SWAT team were training nearby, and were able to respond quickly after receiving the call around 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Ok first why this early in October? Ok. So does anyone communicate anymore or do we just react? So glad I am done with school.
