KERMIT, Texas — Kermit ISD Superintendent Joe Lopez confirmed they found no credible evidence regarding a threatening Snapchat post circulating this morning.
The Snapchat post reads, "I'm so tired of the people here in Kermit. I'm going to take care of it all and get rid of the people I don't like. I'm shooting Kermit schools and I'll get my way."
Kermit ISD Superintendent Joe Lopez issued a statement that reads in part:
"We received information today from a parent that a Snapchat message was posted threatening a school shooting. We have notified local authorities and are investigating the Snapchat posting. Additional administrators and central office staff will be at our campuses. Please know that we take these situations very seriously, and we work to keep all students safe."
Classes will continue as usual with additional staff on each campus for the remainder of the week.
Lopez says, should anything else come up, the district will notify the community immediately through Facebook, School Messenger, and through the news.
