Police escort students back into Granger Elementary School after a false alarm of a shooting at the school in West Valley City on Monday, Nov. 28, 2022. Police confirmed that no shooting occurred at the school.
Police confirmed Monday that there was no shooting at Granger Elementary, after online rumors spread that a gun had been fired inside the West Valley City school and panicked parents rushed to the scene.
Granite School District on Monday afternoon described the situation as a false alarm. A teacher at the school had heard what they thought to be gunshots and called 911, the district said. But the loud noises came from a nearby classroom conducting a science experiment, the district advised.
“Everyone is safe and accounted for,” the district reported on Twitter. “We are grateful for the immediate response of the police.”
The science experiment involved model volcanoes, district spokesperson Ben Horsley said. According to district policy, teachers are supposed to let others in a school know when lessons could include loud, planned noise like that. But that didn’t happen Monday, Horsley said.
“I want to be clear: If somebody sees something or they hear something that makes them feel uncomfortable, they absolutely should report it,” Horsley said Monday afternoon. “In this particular case, it would’ve been helpful also for the reporting teacher to also notify the front office. The front office and nobody else was aware of any potential circumstance prior to police showing up in droves.”
