OREGON, Ohio — EDITOR'S NOTE: A previous version of this story stated that officers made contact with two juveniles who had BB guns. However, Oregon Police Chief Brandon Begin clarified that officers did not make contact with those individuals and could not confirm what they had in their possession.
Students at Fassett Junior High School in Oregon were placed on lockdown Monday after a threat was made against the building.
Oregon police say two known juveniles were present outside the school just after 2 p.m. A student inside reported the two students outside made "possible threats of violence" against the school.
Multiple police units were sent to the school to assist in searching the area, but the two juveniles were not found.
Due to the threats made, students were placed into the safety alert protocol.
According to police, the students inside the school who alerted adults to the threats said the two juveniles were not students at Fassett. Charges have not been filed as of Monday evening.
Oregon police and school staff stood by until all students were released. The investigation is ongoing.
