MySpace threat at NC high school

MySpace Threat Sends Officials to Vance High School:
Class was in session yesterday for Southern Vance County (NC) High School despite the fact that it was Memorial Day. Obviously that didn’t sit well with someone as they posted a threat against the school on MySpace. No weapon was found at the school but that didn’t stop the rumor mill from running at full swing…

As the day went on, cell phones started relaying the message. Word reached parents who started picking up their children. This as Sheriff’s deputies searched for any sign of a weapon.

Some parents are criticizing the school for the fact that there wasn’t a lockdown…

Parent, Rev. John Miles isn’t convinced this was a prank. “The Sheriff hasn’t found no gun in school. But what happened was the school did not get locked down. If the school was locked down you maybe could’ve found that gun. But the school didn’t get locked down so you don’t know if it was a gun there or not. Because people came in and out and got their child,” Miles said.

No arrests have been made as of yet.
