Denver metro-area schools are closing Wednesday as the FBI searched for a young woman suspected of making threats, authorities said.
The following districts announced closures late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning:
Denver Public Schools Aurora Public Schools Cherry Creek School District JeffCo Public Schools Douglas County School District Adams 12 Five Star Schools 27J School District Littleton Public Schools Mapleton Public Schools Englewood Public Schools St. Vrain Valley Schools Boulder Valley School District Clear Creek School District Sheridan School District Thompson School District Adams 14 School District
The FBI and Jefferson County Sheriffs Office said Sol Pais, an 18-year-old white woman, traveled to Colorado on Monday night and made threats against schools. Pais traveled to Colorado by air from Miami, Denver FBI Chief Dean Phillips said. She then bought a pump-action shotgun "immediately" upon arriving in Colorado.
In a Tuesday night press conference, Phillips said Pais expressed an "infatuation with Columbine" and the two teenage gunmen who perpetuated the shooting in past comments.

I remember (sort of) when I was 18.
I’M POSITIVE I never thought about shooting up a school.
Idiots. Just arm some people (that aren’t her) and place them in the schools.
We were too busy buying weed in the parking lot.
Wow! Thousands of kids get a free day off. I bet each one would gladly donate a dollar of their lunch money for another day off. I know I would have. Go Sol.
Noting her race was interesting, we certainly don’t get that ALL the time.
Also, the article states she did not “technically” commit a crime. How is making threats against multiple schools not criminal?
If they know so much about her, why wasn’t she on the no fly list? Sounds like they could’ve just picked her up at the airport and held her on charges of making terroristic threats.
Every school and a lot of daycares in the metro area is closed. The local news website currently lists about 200 school closings (and the big school districts are just one entry) this certainly freaked out a lot of officials. I wonder what they will do tomorrow if they havent caught her yet? How long will they leave the cities school closed ?
I would volunteer to sit on the roof with the AR 15 I may have lost in a tragic boating accident

*****************************
No, all I thought about was seeing my friends.
She doesn’t live in Colorado & she ‘immediately bought a shotgun” ???
Massive overreaction.
Why close schools? I thought we weren’t supposed to allow terrorists change our normal activities? Don’t these schools have armed security?
What the heck sort of name is Sol Pais?
Exactly. As if she can’t wait a day or two until her supposed target is open.
“What the heck sort of name is Sol Pais?”
Form what little research I did, those two words have several other meanings, e.g. sol is the fifth note of a major scale. Guess her parents were trying to be clever.
Apparently, a white name.
Not so sure this is an overreaction. They clearly believe she poses a threat and they know she traveled to Denver and bought a shotgun. It appears authorities also know she is infatuated by Columbine(and not in a good way).
And of course this will stir up a bunch of other crazies as well
We tried convincing them to do that in 2013. The democrats shot it down.
Even though there were over a hundred people in the committee room testifying in favor of arming teachers, and four against.
