Local School Districts Victims Of Non-Credible Threats

Several school districts throughout Washington County have received – over the past few days – several threats that have been deemed “non-credible” by police.  Included in that list, was the Canon-McMillan, Trinity, Chartiers, and Burgettstown School Districts.  Emails were sent out to parents and guardians in the school districts notifying them that there would be an increased police presence at the schools Tuesday.  Canon-McMillan officials say they became aware of an internet post as students were walking into the building Tuesday morning,  After a sweep of the building,  they say police deemed that threat non-credible.  That was also the case in the three other school districts as well.  State Police had told WJPA on Monday that they were investigating what they called “an incident” that occurred over the weekend, after a video was supposedly uploaded to a social media sight, but then taken down, directing a threat to a Trinity area school.  Troopers said they would offer more information once their investigation was complete.  Authorities in each school district have said they are continuing to investigate each and every incident to ensure the safety of all students.
