From The Louisa County Sheriff's Office
PRESS RELEASE: Date: 09-30-25: **School Lockdowns- Update**
On September 26th, 2025, the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by Wells Fargo Bank Security services regarding a threat that was made by a customer over the phone regarding them stating they were a threat and would shoot up a school or church service.
Columbus Junction Police and Louisa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Louisa County address of the caller, but the subject was not located. Further phone communications failed when attempting to locate and speak with the individual.
Not knowing the location of the subject, during this time Columbus Junction, L&M, Wapello and Morning Sun Schools were all placed in lockdown as well as Churches contacted. Deputies and Iowa DNR Officers arrived at each individual school for perimeter security.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office would then be able to find the individual was in North Carolina. At this time the lockdowns were cancelled. Out of state authorities would stop and hold the subject but ultimately did release the subject due to crossing state lines.
Upon returning to Iowa on September 27th, 2025, the individual was taken into custody where a mental health commitment was initiated. Fi****ms were located and kept for safekeeping during this event.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s was assisted by multiple Agencies during this event to include the Columbus Junction Police Department, Iowa DNR, State of Iowa Intel, Muscatine Police Department, and the North Carolina State Patrol.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office takes very seriously any claim of violence and will continue to protect our schools during any threats.

We Need Your Help, Bulldogs!

On Friday night at the Homecoming game, several cans of trash were left scattered on our school grounds. In contrast, the Wilton visitors left just one water bottle behind on their side of the field.

Leaving trash on the ground does not reflect the pride we have in our school and community. Let’s show who we are by taking responsibility—please pick up after yourself and kindly remind those around you to do the same. 🐾

This isn’t just about Friday night—we want to see this pride and responsibility at all sporting events. Whether we’re home or away, let’s represent our Bulldog family the right way.

A huge THANK YOU to the individuals who went up to the school today to pick up the trash—you set a great example for all of us. Let’s all do our part to keep our campus looking its best!
