Threat Against A School In Hyde Park Still Under Investigation

After the events that unfolded in Nashville, Tennessee earlier this week many people are on edge again while others see it as an opportunity to harass people. Numerous schools in our area and across the country have been experiencing false claims that violence is being planned.

Sadly after each mass school shooting, there is a period of time where bad actors feel the need to prolong the event by targeting schools with pranks or false threats, It is very dangerous behavior due to the fact that everyone is on heightened awareness.
