Message to Farmington High parents
Shortly after the incident, the school administration sent out the following message to parents:
Dear Parents,
Some of you may have heard we had law enforcement respond to our school this morning.
That occurred after an adult made a report about two suspicious juveniles in the building. No direct threats were made. Police quickly apprehended the individuals.
There was no disruption to any of our classes and school continues to operate as normal. All students continue to remain safe.
The Farmington Police Department is continuing to investigate the matter.
Police said they don’t believe there is an “outstanding threat” to the school in regards to Tuesday morning’s incident.
Police also said the individuals are juveniles, and are also working with officials from the Davis School District to determine the appropriate course of action.
No other information was provided.
