Police in danville are increasing patrols around schools following violent threats specifically mentioning todays date. Ktvus Tara Moriarty joins us live from Baldwin Elementary School which was the target of the latest threat. Tara, we understand you just spoke to a School District official about this latest threat. Reporter yeah, he basically confirmed that they think this is some sort of a copycat type of a thing from the original message that popped up last week. But the School District officials are taking every precaution necessary. Weve noticed a Police Officer here on campus. The teachers have not arrived yet to school, neither have the kids. But we did notice a group here earlier on the grounds. We did notice the Police Officer arrive quite early and patrol the area. The graffiti was found scrawled inside the boys bathroom on campus in the multipurpose building. Its the latest in a string of messages threatening to kill people today. Last week, less than a mile away at charlotte middle school, threatening graffiti sprayed in yellow paint was found on a rock in a creek bed. It said i will kill 12 people on 5 8 14. Additional threats have been painted or markerred on walls in different spots. One parent said hes planning to send his kid to School Despite the fact that parents and students are concerned. It will be interesting to see what our attendance is like. You know, people some people we know are choosing to keep their kids at home. We understand that. Its a personal family choice. But at the same time, we dont have any reason to believe that any of our schools are at risk today. Reporter according to a letter sent out by baldwins principal, yesterday afternoon, police did catch someone responsible for at least one of the threatening messages. Again, Police Believe a copycat could be at work here and they are looking for the person who originally spray painted that first threat. Well try to get some reaction from parents this morning. They have been invited to stay here on campus. In speaking with the School District, he said the Community Rallies together with this sort of thing and would not be surprised if a lot of parents chose to stick around today.
