The Nebo School District credits a new phone app for quick communication and direction during Wednesday's lockdown after hoax calls came in about a shooting threat.
District spokeswoman Lana Hiskey said staff members at Spanish Fork High School downloaded and were trained on how to use the app last week.
"The way we heard about this yesterday was police officers running into the school building, armed all in gear," Hiskey said. "We have a shooter, active shooter, and we have people down. That was their first, initial information. So, they went ahead and had to let everyone know immediately, so the app came in perfect timing."
Staff members then had to respond by pressing red, indicating they weren't safe, or green, they were safe.
