I know they found traces of lead in the environment?
In Leadville? WTH? Probably not too many people running since it sits at over 10,000 ft.
“Active threat” (?).
Well in Oroville, CA it’s an active threat of a dam collapsing.
Maybe it’s an active threat of too many Trump supporters.
Most likely “Allu Akbar” is lurking somewhere close by.
Colorado, figures.

An advanced PhD researcher, finally studied the name of the location: Leadville.
EEK! He discovered LEAD.
Thus the emergency.
Actually it is a pretty little town. Old mining town. I’ve been there a number of times.
Lived up there for 3 years back in the 80’s...loved it!

A pretty cool mountain town. Once the home of an Opera House that hosted quite a few early stars. And, the best fudge in Colorado can be found at Hundley’s Emporium.
Maybe someone thought they spotted “Milo” with a microphone.
another source:
“A spokesperson with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office told sister station KCNC that she’s “not aware” of any injuries to students or staff, but would not elaborate on what the threat was. Deputies are reportedly going classroom to classroom evacuating students.”
BREAKING: CMC on Lock Down After Bomb Threat
**Update** 10:40 a.m.
Leadville Today just spoke to Lake County Office of Emergency Management’s Mike McHargue who confirmed that there had been a bomb threat at Colorado Mountain College in Leadville. As of now, no such device has been discovered by officials who are conducting a full investigation right now. The suspect who made the threat is in police custody.
Students, employees and staff have been secured (in lock down) in one of these two building on campus: The cafeteria or the students’ residence hall. McHargue stated there was NOT an evacuation order for students to leave campus.
Lake County School District Superintendent Wendy Wyman did confirm that schools have been placed on lock-out as a precaution. That status conducts regular school classes and business within the building, but limits access in and out of facilities. Stay tuned for updates.

In the mountain towns of Colorado, violent crime is unheard of.
Even the streets are safe to walk at night. This is highly unusual for rural Colorado.
Skied there years ago. I liked it.
