San Gabriel Elementary was shut down for nearly two weeks as investigators combed the campus. Lab tests showed a container left on the campus contained sodium ferrocyanide, but not in concentrations strong enough to produce a vaporized form of the chemical.
Letters placed around the shcool had language similar to the horror movie "Saw" according to the Atascadero Police Department. Padlocks were placed on school gates and teachers were instructed to find keys as part of a game.
