Secured Campus status has been lifted at Lois Allen Elementary School, and the school has resumed normal operations.

The Washoe County School District posted the initial announcement on its website at 12:51 p.m. on Thursday with the update at 1:35 p.m.

According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, deputies were in the area investigating a possible assault in Sun Valley.

The disturbance did not occur on the Lois Allen campus and was not connected to the school.

Earlier this week, the school was placed on a different secured campus after a body was found outside the school. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation and says that it is not being investigated as suspicious.
