Consider adding a section on the school shooting threat

On September 12th, 2022, mustang high school sent out this email to parents, students and teachers.

“A Message From MPS (re: Social Media Threat)

Mustang Families,

Working in partnership with our local law enforcement, we strive to provide open, honest and timely communication to our stakeholders. Late last night/Early this morning the Mustang Police Department notified us that one of our Mustang High School students had been arrested in conjunction with a troubling post made almost a month ago using a popular social media app. The post contained an image of a firearm with a message warning of coming to school, but no specific school or even District was mentioned.

The post, which has been shared over 4,000 times, actually contained an airsoft (pellet) rifle and was made as a joke. Mustang PD has assured us that, based upon their investigation of this situation, there is no credible threat to any of our schools, nor was there one when this post was made, but this situation requires some additional unpacking.

We take all reports of this nature seriously and work closely with our law enforcement partners to investigate and take appropriate actions. It is quite troubling that this post had been seen/shared over 4,000 times prior to it being reported. We recognize that students, families and the entire community play a vital role in maintaining safe schools; please allow this to serve as a very important reminder to see something, say something! The Department of Homeland Security has some good information about this, available online at https://www.dhs.gov/see-something-say-something: “...as you’re going about your day, if you see something that doesn't seem quite right, say something. By being alert and reporting suspicious activity to your local law enforcement [or any trusted adult], you can protect your family, neighbors, and community.”

We hope that this situation can present an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with your children; reminding them that as valuable as social media can be in terms of timely communication, it can also serve as a vehicle to spread misinformation that can be harmful and have far-reaching consequences. We encourage you to talk with your child and your students about being positive consumers of information and being responsible for what they view and share via social media.

At this time, we believe this situation to be resolved, as Mustang PD has deemed this a non-credible threat. We will continue to have all of our School Resource Officers on duty and stationed throughout the District. Additionally, our Director of Safety & Security will continue to work closely with local law enforcement to monitor any situation, should it arise. We greatly value our partnerships with the Mustang Police Department, Canadian County Sheriff’s Office and the OKC Police Department as the safety of our students and staff is our utmost concern.

We thank you for the trust that you place in us each and every day, and greatly appreciate your continued support of MPS. As always, if you have any questions, please contact your school office or administrators.”

In short: A kid who attended MHS sent a picture with a caption that said something along the lines of “don’t come to school tomorrow” with a firearm (which turned out to be an airsoft gun) to a group chat on a “popular social media app” (presumably Snapchat), the kid who sent it was arrested and nobody got hurt.
