LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas say a person was in police custody and a Catholic parish school was closed for the day after a former employee left a voice message characterized as a threat.
The Diocese of Las Vegas says the message was received early Monday and St. Viator Catholic School was closed as a precaution.
It says the person hadn't worked at the school for several years.
