Churchill County School District notified parents at 10:08 a.m., Thursday, August 15, that CCHS had been placed in what they called a “soft lockdown.” According to CCSD officials, the Fallon Police Department received a third-party tip regarding potential firearms on school grounds. “We are keeping students and staff in lockdown as an extra precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on campus,” said CCSD Public Information Officer, Kaitlin Ritchie. 

By 10:17, CCSD reported that Fallon PD had cleared the high school to release students and staff. According to the police department, officers received information that students possibly had firearms in their cars. “After a thorough investigation and a search of the referenced students, vehicles, and related locations, no firearms were located,” said PD officials. “No threat was identified, so the school was released from the lockdown.”

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. 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 EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
