In the wake of the Las Vegas mass shootings, Friday’s social media buzz about a shooting threat at a Saratoga Springs high school caught on like wildfire.
And, said Alpine School District spokeswoman Kimberly Bird, it didn’t help that an unnamed middle school principal added the words “threat of a school shooting” to an email meant to assure his own patrons that there was no danger.
“There was not a shooting threat at West Lake High School today and there never was,” Bird said Friday.
