How bad could it have been?
That’s what many were wondering after last week’s press conference on the legitimate threat made by students at Snow Hill Middle School last month.
While details are scant, what we do know is authorities were alerted by the school system of a potential school shooting plot. School officials learned about it when concerned students shared what they were hearing. A police investigation ensued, and the threat was found to be credible. Evidence was found in the homes of two juveniles supporting a planned shooting event at the middle school and confirmed, “the plot had been several months in the making,” according to a press release.
Human nature dictates a need for more information. There are many unsubstantiated rumors circulating in the community about this threat, but it will be weeks or maybe months before we know exactly what the two juveniles intended to do to their classmates, teachers and administrators at the small middle school with students in grades 4-8.

Wow! I am thankful for those students who spoke up to adults about what the rumors they were hearing. Thank God that a tragedy was stopped.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this article I know nothing more than before I read it.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but ask was this a real threat !!! If this were a credible threat why were the accused allowed to attend school daily for several week while information was being collected from students and their parents without any consequences to the juveniles ? From what I understand there Was never a student /parent conference , suspension, or reprimanding of any kind as information was being collected. Makes me wonder!!!!!
