The Argyle ISD Police Department investigated a rumored safety threat at Argyle High School and determined it was not a credible threat to the school.
The district sent an email to AHS parents Thursday night after a thorough investigation “found no information to substantiate the rumor … The campus will maintain its regular daily schedule on Friday.”
Similar unsubstantiated threats to schools across the area, and state, have been circulating the past couple weeks. The Lewisville Police Department announced Friday morning that it arrested four juvenile suspects in connection with multiple fictitious online school threats made against Huffines Middle School.
The juveniles, all of whom are LISD students, have all been charged with Terroristic Threat and were booked into the Juvenile Detention Center in Denton, according to a Lewisville PD news release. Because the suspects are all juveniles, their names are not being released.
“We want to ensure the public knows this threat was a fake post, purposely designed to create a reaction and intended to have the suspects avoid attending school on Friday,” Lewisville PD said in a statement. “There is NO CREDIBLE threat stemming from this post. LPD shares the concerns of our parents, students, school district partners, and the greater community when any threat is received.”
