Despite rumors of a “hit list” being created by a senior at Signal Middle/High School, school officials and authorities say they have not found any physical evidence of the list.
The school’s Principal Robin Copp sent an email to parents Tuesday night saying the potential threat was being investigated, and the student involved will not return to the school’s campus until the investigation is complete.
“We will continue to put the safety of our students and staff first and foremost on our priority list and will send an email when the investigation is complete,” Copp wrote in the email.
Copp first alerted parents and guardians of the threat Monday night, and said in her email Tuesday that despite the potential threat it was a great school day and students were able to take the ACT test and classes continued as normal.
Signal Mountain Police Chief Mike Williams said yesterday that Copp followed the same protocol as last time when the school received a shooting threat the end of February.
