Two Templeton schools shelter in place due to ‘unspecified general threat’
Incident is still being investigated by the sheriff’s office
– On Monday at approximately 10:50 a.m., staff at Templeton Middle School received word of an unspecified general threat. Students and staff were placed on “shelter in place” and continued activities while a significant number of law enforcement personnel from the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office investigated and searched the school.
Following an “exhaustive investigation” by law enforcement, Templeton Middle School was cleared to resume normal school activities. Out of an abundance of caution, Templeton Elementary School was also placed on “shelter in place” due to its close proximity. At approximately 1 p.m., the “shelter in place” order was lifted.
Despite no credible threat being identified, law enforcement remained onsite Monday out of an abundance of caution.
The incident is still being investigated by the sheriff’s office. No further information is available at this time.
