MIDLAND, Texas — Midland ISD sent a district-wide message to community members about a social media rumor involving a shooting and possible bombing.
The rumor started because of a Snapchat that was circulating around the area. The post talks about a school shooting at 2:30 p.m. and possible bombing at 6:00 p.m.
According to the Communications Office at MISD, they said that there is no indication that the rumor is targeting MISD and that the post is vague about where it originated from. The school day has continued as usual. Midland ISD Police is continuing to investigate this situation.
