Steamboat Springs — A student at Steamboat Springs High School is accused of brandishing a knife at another student Thursday. Josh Carrell, Steamboat Springs police resource officer, investigated the incident, police Sgt. Dale Coyner said.

"There was a physical altercation, it sounds like, but no one was hurt with the knife," police Sgt. Rich Brown said. "There was nobody seriously injured."

Brown said more than two students were involved. All those involved were students at the high school, Brown said. He would not comment on causes of the altercation.

Police are investigating and could not provide more information Friday, Coyner said.

"The juvenile was taken into custody and did spend the night at the Moffat County juvenile holding facility" in Craig, Coyner said. There is no juvenile holding facility in Steamboat Springs.

Steamboat schools Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said the school usually turns such situations over to police. High School Principal Kevin Taulman would not comment.

Deadline to register for June science camp is Monday

The registration deadline is Monday for a summer science camp for rising seventh- and eighth-graders from June 7 to 11. Colorado Mountain College, Mesa State College, Colorado Northwest Community College, and Western Colorado Math Science Center are sponsoring the camp.

Housing, food, transportation, equipment and instruction is provided for a $25 registration fee.

Students will go to Grand Junction to the Math Science Center, visit an energy lab in Rifle, camp along the Colorado River (camping equipment included), and visit other energy sources in our community. Students will perform experiments, go home with kits and learn more about energy than we can spin a windmill with. Contact Laurie Marano or Sameta Rush at 870-4543.
