Saint Anthony Catholic School in Tamuning remained closed today as law enforcement officials continue to investigate a threat of violence which prompted a schoolwide lockdown yesterday.


"School personnel discovered a note on the premises which threatened gun violence at the Tamuning Catholic school," according to a press release from the Archdiocese of Agana.


It was not currently clear if a gun was found in the school.


"No actual incident of violence occurred. However, school administrators immediately initiated emergency protocols and contacted the Guam Police Department. Police did a sweep of the school and assisted staff as they coordinated the early pick-up of students by parents and guardians," the diocese said.


School administrators notified parents of classes continuing cancellation of classes.
