Rumored threats made by a student to carry out an attack at the local school were taken seriously by local authorities who moved in to ensure schools were safe this past Friday. “Around 6 p.m., Feb. 22 the school resource officer at the high school contacted me and advised me he had a concerned parent call him. The parent said their child had overheard a student make a threat to the DeKalb County High School,” revealed Sheriff Patrick Ray, noting he put detectives on the case.
