Major Denver Metro Area School Districts Closed Wednesday Due To Credible Threat

DENVER (CBS4) - A credible threat currently being investigated by the FBI and many other Denver-area law enforcement agencies has prompted most major school districts in the metro area to close schools on Wednesday.

The threat is due to a dangerous woman named Sol Pais who is on the run and allegedly has been obsessed with the Columbine High School shooting for many years. This weekend marks 20 years since the mass shooting in Jefferson County.
