Police: Juvenile detained after armed threats against CCSD middle school

Dear Roy W. Martin Middle School families,

Thank you for your patience and understanding during today's lockdown. We want to provide you with the latest information.

Today, police placed our campus on lockdown out of an abundance of caution due to a rumored threat against the school. LVMPD and CCSD Police investigated and detained a juvenile for questioning. That individual was later released. Reports of a weapon on campus were unsubstantiated.

Once the lockdown was lifted, students were released for the day through a delayed, staggered release.

Thank you for your patience throughout this whole process.

This incident serves as a reminder that making threats against a school is a serious crime. Please talk with your child about the seriousness of making threats. Additionally, please remind them of the importance of following the CCSD Student Code of Conduct.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your child, please feel free to contact the school’s main office at 702-799-7922.

Thank you.
