On Thursday, September 19, 2024, the School Resource Deputy assigned to Central High School was made aware of a student who reported a vague school-related threat. The alleged threat was a Snapchat video saying someone was going to pull a fire alarm and shoot people as they exited the school. The alleged video did not, however, name a specific school.
An investigation was immediately begun; however, the video was found to have been deleted. The HCSO Crime Analysis Unit and Investigative Services were also notified.
Shortly after the SRD received the original threat notification, two separate students received a text message with a screenshot of a gun and a message saying, “They would be at Central High School at noon.” The School Resource Deputy, along with HCSO Investigative Services, are currently investigating the threat. However, the initial investigation has determined that the threat originated out of state and was deemed not credible at this time.
Additional HCSO personnel responded to the school as a precaution.
On Thursday, September 19, 2024, at approximately 8:45 am, the School Resource Deputy assigned to Dalewood Middle School was informed of a threat of mass violence uttered by a student.
The SRD investigated the incident and determined a 12-year-old female student stood up in class and stated loudly that she would “Kill everyone at her table!”
The student was arrested and taken to the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center, charged with Threat of Mass Violence on School Property.
As this incident pertains to juveniles, no further information is available.
