LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A regular Wednesday for students at Shadow Ridge High School soon turned scary and chaotic.
Another CCSD school had another threat of a gun on campus. Parents were waiting for words about their children.

CCSD Police and Las Vegas police said calls came in around 10 a.m. this morning. The threat was credible enough for officials to believe that a firearm could be involved. That's when the hard lockdown came in place.
Local parents told KTNV that they hope other parents won't have to experience what they felt this morning, worrying about their children. On the other hand, students inside the school never thought that the drills they practiced since grade school would become reality.

KTNV's Paulina Bucka had the opportunity to talk to senior Evan Bruce. He told Bucka that he and other band members were getting ready for middle schoolers to arrive at the high school when they heard the emergency alarm going off.
This prompted students to run and hide in the band room.
"In a situation like this, you kind of have to sit and process it while you're also watching and making sure everyone around you is alright," Bruce said. "It was insane even when the cops came in, we were sitting in the room and all of a sudden we saw them and froze in place."
Bruce says he and his classmates were searched by police before getting released out of the school safely.
