POCATELLO - For the second time this week, a District 25 school is placed on lockdown.

Police surrounded the Lincoln Early Childhood Center on Oakwood Drive at noon, after learning about threats toward a student.

The girl is home and safe.

Within an hour, parents were picking up their kids from the school, but officers remained on scene as a precaution.

The threats were allegedly made by Thomas Arellano, the same man accused of prompting a lockdown at Pocatello High School Monday.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
