Story updated at 2:15 p.m. September 12.

Oasis Academy released information to parents shortly at 12:39 September 12, that the school was in full lockdown. According to school officials, reports of a weapon on the Western Nevada College campus next to Oasis were made, prompting the school to enact safety measures.

Oasis released information later that afternoon that they were notified about a man with a long gun walking through the WNC campus toward the K-8 campus, after which they immediately went into code red and locked down both campuses. Parents were notified as quickly as possible and updated as the situation evolved.
Fallon Police contacted the individual, who was not a student, and released the person had an airsoft BB gun. There was no way from a distance that anyone could tell that this was a BB gun.

“The staff and students did an amazing job. Our staff followed Oasis Academy protocols,” said Oasis staff. Oasis cleared both buildings with Fallon Police Department, per protocol. Obviously, this can be scary for students when they do not know what is happening as a result some students were upset. Oasis’ counseling team contacted every classroom that afternoon and the following day to work with students as needed. Oasis Academy stated they are very proud of their students, teachers and staff.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
