(BEDFORD) - A text alert was sent out early this morning to families of middle school students in the North Lawrence Community Schools system regarding a social media posting on Wednesday night.
The alert this morning says police "assessed the potential threat, and based upon what they have been able to determine, our schools are safe."
NLCS Superintendent Gary Conner said the Bedford Police Department notified him of the social media activity at about 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.
Bedford Police determined the post pertained to a situation in another state, but generated confusion locally.
A similar situation happened to at a Salem School.
The text alert further reads, "Law enforcement personnel indicated that someone may have copied a post from another state, and once the post was activated, information may have become misconstrued. ... We, along with our friends associated with the Lawrence County Police Department, the Bedford Police Department and the Indiana State Police, want to reassure you that we are working together to ensure the safety our young people."
