Bledsoe County Middle School students this morning had to walk through metal detectors and undergo a search after a gun threat was found written on a girls’ bathroom wall on Tuesday.
Bledsoe County Director of Schools Jennifer Terry said this morning that the threat found at the end of the school day on Tuesday stated, “I plan on bringing a gun tomorrow.”
Parents were sent an “All-Call” alert Tuesday night notifying them of the threat and security measures being taken as students arrived for school, Terry said.
“We definitely want to keep parents in the loop,” she said.
School and Sheriff’s Office officials don’t believe it was a “credible threat,” but they wanted to ensure everyone’s safety just in case, Terry said.
