Churchill County School District and the Fallon Police Department have been made aware of several national TikTok social media posts threatening gun violence at any-given school, across the country, on Friday, December 17, 2021. Churchill County School District has received no threats.
Authorities believe the social media posts, which appear to be originating outside of the State of Nevada, started as an attempt to cancel school before winter break. FPD is monitoring social media along with state and federal law enforcement. FPD will be increasing their physical presence today, but currently, there is no credible threat from these social media posts to any school in Fallon.
The district’s top priority is the safety of students and staff. As of right now, social media threats appear to be a stunt, but as a district we continue to remain vigilant and proactive in taking any threat seriously. Anyone with information of any specific threat or witness to any suspicious activity in or around schools, should notify FPD, individual school principals/staff, or ChurchillCSD immediately. Any student caught making a violent threat on social media causing a school disturbance will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s school.
