All San Juan County schools moved online Friday after school officials said a ‘suspicious device’ was found at a San Juan County school. Officials said one school received a threatening comment on Thursday and just hours later some type of home-made explosive was found at another school.

Police said the device is not functional, but is still dangerous. School officials said this incident combined with nationwide school shooting threats stemming from the social media app TikTok led San Juan County to opt for virtual learning while police continue to investigate.

Emma Feuz is a senior at Utah State University majoring in broadcast journalism with minors in sociology and political science. She grew up in Evanston, Wyoming where, just like Utah State, the sagebrush also grows. Emma found her love of writing at an early age and slowly discovered her interest in all things audio and visual throughout her years in school. She is excited to put those passions to use at UPR. When school isn't taking up her time, Emma loves longboarding, cheering on the Denver Broncos, and cleaning the sink at Angies.
