Threats to FHS, FMS, WVMS online a hoax? KCSO Juvenile Crimes Unit respond
“The Knox County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Crimes Unit is actively investigating an online threat that has been circulating, naming numerous schools (including Farragut High, Farragut Middle and West Valley Middle). As always, the Knox County Schools Security Division has been very helpful.”
“Sheriff (Tom) Spangler emphasized on Friday evening at a press conference at the Halls Campus, ‘Parents, please check on your kids; KNOW what they’re doing, the games they’re playing and who they’re interacting with on social media platforms.’
“We will charge those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. There is no excuse for a child or teacher to be in fear while trying to attend or teach school.
“KCSO’s detectives, especially the juvenile detectives, are working around the clock to investigate these threats. If you have information, call 865-215-2243.” (From Kimberly Glenn, KCSO spokesperson).
