KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A possible threat overheard Thursday at Success Academy in Kansas City, Missouri, led to a police response that ended with a student arrested after a foot chase.
According to a Kansas City Public Schools spokesperson, around noon Thursday, someone overheard a group of students having a conversation that included a possible threat.
The school, located at 1601 Forest Ave., was briefly placed on lock down until officials confirmed there was no threat.
At some point during the investigation, one of the students involved in the conversation ran out of the school.
Officers on patrol in the area spotted the student and started a foot chase. The student ran north from the school and over the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 before being arrested in the median of the highway.
