No Threat Via Social Media Against Flomaton High School

February 20, 2018

Rumors were rampant on social media last Monday that a student was threatening to take weapons to Flomaton High School today.

Authorites investigated and “didn’t find any threat” made on social media.

“We will have officers around school tomorrow,” Flomaton Police Chief Bryan Davis said Monday night,  in order to reassure parents. He said parents should feel confident that their students are safe at the Flomaton schools.

“The Flomaton Police Department will have an increased presence today at Flomaton Schools. This should not be an alarm to parents but a reassurance with the rumors circulating on social media last night. We have confidence in the school resource officer, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, school administration, along with our department to deter any type of activity,” the department posted on their Facebook page.

Social media rumors indicated that a student had threatened online to take a gun and knife to the school.

Last week, a 19-year was arrested on murder charges in a mass shooting that claimed 17 lives last week at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

    I’ve known the kid my whole life. He always played the video game Call of Duty and would carry around toy guns. I can recall him telling me about weapons but I was never interested with weapons. I know he has a past with those kinds of things but it still doesn’t mean he has an excuse to say this. He was even in my class before he was removed.
