BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. — A social media threat directed at Berkeley Springs High School Monday morning has been investigated.
Morgan County Sheriff KC Bohrer tells The Panhandle News Network the threat was taken seriously, investigated, and ultimately deemed to be not a credible threat.
Sheriff Bohrer and Morgan County Schools Superintendent David Banks issued a joint statement:
“This morning, Morgan County Schools were made aware of a threat made via social media. We immediately began working with our law enforcement partners to establish the credibility of this threat and take all necessary precautions. At this time, there is no credible threat to student safety.
As we all navigate the emotions of recent events at schools across the country, please speak with your students about how their words and actions can impact others and themselves. Any threats will be evaluated by local law enforcement and school officials, and all appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. Please always remember if you see something, say something. Safety is a team effort.”
