Students at Derby High School were evacuated Wednesday afternoon after a suspicious device was reported.
Officials confirmed that the device found in a backpack was a grenade.
The Derby Police Department was called, and the building was evacuated. The Wichita Police Department’s Bomb Squad was also brought in.
School officials say police determined that the device was not live or something that posed a threat.
In a news release from USD 260 officials said that at approximately 2:35 p.m. on Tuesday, a student reported seeing an image on Snapchat of another student having a grenade at Derby High School. It was immediately investigated, and the student in question shared that the device in the image was not live.
After the all clear was given, students were allowed to re-enter the building to gather their personal effects and leave for the day.
