Police blotter: Student upset over testing threatens to shoot school board
Student later tells Hinesville police he was joking
Police blotter
From Hinesville Police Department reports: Threats: Police were sent April 26 to Horizons because a student threatened to shoot the school board. The complainant said a teacher told her the student “was upset about having to take the three parts of the English exam for the end of course test,” the report said, and told her he’d go to the board of education office and “’shoot them up.’” Police talked to the student, who admitted to saying that but “advised he was only joking.” The report said the complainant didn’t want to sign a juvenile complaint form because the school investigation was still ongoing, but “other school officials might elect to pursue charges for the offense.”
