Authorities investigate threat at Grand Island school

A Grand Island elementary school operated under a "shelter in place" mode for much of the day while authorities investigated a reported threat. Students at William Kaegebein Elementary on Love Road maintained a regular schedule but the school did not allow anyone inside or out of the building while the school and law enforcement investigated a threat that was determined to be not credible. 

No one was hurt and parents were notified of the situation by email and telephone. The "shelter in place" order was lifted around 1:45 p.m. and classes will be held Friday as usual. 

In a letter to parents, school officials say the reacted out an abundance of caution.
