On Friday, October 18, Greenfield Police Officers were dispatched on a call involving a potential shooting that would occur at Greenfield High School.
The School Resource Officer and Patrol Officers quickly responded by contacting school administration. The student and the student’s parents were interviewed and cooperated with police throughout the investigation.
As the investigation continued, multiple students were thoroughly interviewed and it was determined that the threat was a rumor started on the social media application Snapchat. In the conclusion of the investigation, it was determined there was no credible or direct threat made.
Although the threat was not substantiated, there was a heightened police presence at Greenfield High School on Monday, October 21.
The Greenfield Police Department takes all threats of school violence seriously and they encourage their community to report any suspicious social media posts or concerning behavior. They also encourage parents to talk to their children about refraining from re-posting suspicious activity on social media, instead report the information to an adult or by calling 911.
