Abingdon
Police Department
For Immediate
Release
On Sunday, January 20, 2019, a middle school student
posted on social media, “I’m shooting up the school don’t come.” Officers of the Abingdon Police Department
have interviewed the student and spoken to the mother about the post. The student admitted to making the post. While the student was playing Xbox with a
friend, the friend dared the student to make the post in hopes of not having to
go to school tomorrow. The student made
the post, obviously, without realizing the full consequences of these actions. This agency, as well as the school administration,
take any and all threats to student safety seriously. At this time, the investigation has shown
this is NOT a credible threat. However,
in an abundance of caution, our officers are further investigating the incident.
