Alert students, police, K9 credited with stopping potential deadly Utah school bombing

ST. GEORGE, Utah — (KUTV) - St. George Utah Police are crediting "extremely perceptive" students and fast-acting law enforcement for stopping what could have been a deadly attack at Pine View High School.

"After examining the device, bomb squad members indicated that if it had detonated the device had the potential to cause significant injury or death," Ofc. Lona Trombly of the St. George Police Department said in a press release.

Students at the St. George school noticed a bag near a vending machine that was "smoking and sizzling."

Students at the St. George school noticed a bag near a vending machine that was "smoking and sizzling."

“I could smell a smoke smell and my friends actually saw it before I did,” Jack Whalen, the teen who found the bag said and continued to explain that he looked inside the smoking bag.

They immediately notified faculty who contacted the school's resource officer who called in the threat to law enforcement.

Yeah, I don't believe that's "cause and effect", given the ISIS modus operandi frequently utilizes bombs.

But it is good to hear that Utah recognizes teachers basic right to self defense.

Not just teachers, adult students with CHP also. All public colleges are full of armed adults and have been for years.

Also there is a Utah state law that, IIRC, makes it illegal (with penalties) for a school administrator to deny a person the right to legally carry.

Utah students don't know how good they have it.
