Tate High School Placed On Lockdown Thursday Morning Due To An “Unspecified Threat”

December 12, 2019

Tate High School was placed on lockdown Thursday morning due to an “unspecified threat”. The lockdown has since been lifted.

A student took a threat they discovered on social media to the school resource officer, according to ECSO Maj. Andrew Hobbs. He said the school was placed on lockdown as deputies and school officials worked to determine if the threat was legitimate and who made the threat.

Hobbs was unable to provide more specifics about type of threat, but said it has since been removed from social media. Deputies have a screenshot of the threat and are working to determine the owner of the social media account involved.

Tate was also placed on lockdown Tuesday morning after the Sheriff’s Office  attempted to serve a battery domestic violence arrest warrant on an individual in the area near the campus when the suspect fled. The suspect did not enter the campus, and there was a manhunt in an area outside the school campus.
