UTAH — Police were on scene at the Eagle Valley Elementary School in Eagle Mountain, Utah on Monday after a masked man entered the building.

SWAT members were on scene and snipers were seen across the street.
The suspect reportedly emailed local news outlets before the incident–warning of the event.
No injuries have been reported and it is believed no one is inside the school.
From KSL: The El Paso Times and other news media outlets received an email at 1:10 p.m. MST, from a man who wrote “I will call 911 with a threat of an explosive and drive onto my 9yr olds elementary school, Eagle Valley Elementary, with a True Explosive.”
