0

A photo featuring a note and what appears to be the trigger portion of a gun sent students, staff and parents at Woodland High School on high alert of a possible shooting situation.

Henry County law enforcement responded and is investigating the message along with a similar message sent out Wednesday, however officials confirm there is no real credible threat at this time.

On Wednesday, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office says it received word that a photo of someone holding a gun in a restroom was airdropped to a number of people. The school was placed under lockdown and a thorough search was conducted of the school, including a classroom where their K9 hit on “articles of suspicion.”

The lockdown was lifted after it was deemed that there was no credible threat of gun violence on campus.

The latest photo sent out Friday morning featured a note that appeared to read “Woodland thought they were safe.” Along with the gun was a fake skeleton bone.

The school did not go under lockdown Friday and class is proceeding as normal.
