AMERICAN FORK, Utah — Students can return to American Fork High School to pick up their items after officials found nothing suspicious following a bomb threat Friday afternoon. The incident remains under investigation.

Officials found nothing suspicious at American Fork High School after a bomb threat on Friday afternoon, although the incident remains under investigation.

American Fork Police said they received reports of a sticky note containing a bomb threat, prompting school officials to evacuate the building and dismiss class for the day while crews worked to clear the area for potential bombs.

What was written in the note has yet to be released, but police said they will continue an investigation into who may have left the note.

The Alpine School District has decided to cancel classes for the remainder of the day during the sweep of the building.

The incident follows recent threats made to other northern Utah schools in recent days, including Ben Lomond High School in Ogden and Olympus High School in Holladay. Neither of the recent threats was deemed credible.
