The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says an investigation has revealed a juvenile making a threat of possible school shootings that would happen today (Tuesday) is a hoax.
JCSO says Jefferson County Schools administrators and SROs began investigating the threat, which involved a possible school shooting that would happen at two schools in Jefferson County, after it was found on TikTok.
Officials with the School Safety Division and the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security found the post last (Monday) night and revealed that the entire threat was created by a juvenile and deemed a hoax.
The investigation’s findings will now be sent to school administrators and the Attorney General’s Office.
JSCO says Jefferson County Schools and their Office will always take all threats seriously and investigate them to the fullest.
