A gun threat fueled a decision by Barrington Unit District 220 officials to cancel a high school dance scheduled for Saturday evening. The school also canceled the varsity girls basketball game with Hoffman Estates High School. "We're not sure of the credibility of the information completely," Superintendent Tom Leonard said, but school officials decided to avoid any chance of trouble.
