Jacqueline Aguilar joined KGUN 9 as a multimedia journalist in February of 2024.

Those schools were Desert Sky Middle School , Empire High School and Cienega High School, with those threats prompting lockdowns at the three Vail schools. As of this afternoon all threats have been deemed not credible by the Pima County Sheriffs Department.

I spoke with parents who said unfortunately this isn't their first time receiving messages from administration of school threats. I arrived to Empire High School around 2:40 p.m. and there were long lines of cars backed up because Old Vail Rd./Houghton Rd. was closed off. I drove around and was still met with long lines on Mary Ann Cleveland Way.

The campus parking lot was filled with deputies and parents waiting in backed up lines around 2:30 p.m. while I was at the other schools.I spoke off-camera with a mother of three kids who attend Cienega High School. She tells me she actually got out of her car to get her kids herself from the school.She went on to say her children were outside for about three hours and described 'lots of back-and-forth' between school staff, security and the students.
