A bomb threat was received by 911 in Sedgwick County late this afternoon that has delayed the start of the Wichita Heights High School graduation ceremony scheduled for 7 p.m. at Wichita State's Charles Koch Arena.
The caller suggested that an explosive device might be used at the event.
Since that time, three bomb-sniffing dogs from the Kansas Highway Patrol have been brought to the arena to help determine if the threat is valid. The practice gym was checked and was deemed safe and graduates and Heights faculty have been allowed to gather there.
The public will be allowed to enter Koch Arena once the facility has been thoroughly checked and declared safe for the ceremony.
Plans are tentatively set for an 8 p.m. start if the all-clear is received.
