The Semmes Police Department says similar threats happened in surrounding states on Friday.
Police say they tracked down the threat to Florida with the help of the Gulf Coast Technology Center, discovering it was a hoax.
“This was going on in Florida and Georgia. I’m like, I don’t care where it’s coming from or if it’s a hoax. It’s critical, I don’t want to take a chance and somebody really come in here. The post said “we’re fixing to make history today. And I’m like hold on, you ain’t fixing to make crap today, I’m coming to pick up my kid,” stated Miller.
That message brought a heavy police presence to the school’s premises, and they monitored it throughout the morning.
