The Clay County District Schools Police Department posted a warning to parents Tuesday night about social media posts that could threaten schools in the county and neighboring areas.
The vague alert warned of a Snapchat post that had been circulated to students of public and private schools in Clay County, referencing threats of an active shooter but not mentioning any specific schools.
Then Wednesday morning, the district police posted an update saying another post had begun making the rounds that did mention some specific schools.
“The author of a newer social media post apparently formed conclusions of what they heard. Please know we are actively looking into all posts brought to our attention. We will continue to monitor safety and security measures at all Clay County Schools,” the department’s updated Facebook post read.
