HURON — The Huron School District and Huron Police Department issued a joint statement late Tuesday afternoon, sharing information of an alleged “graffiti threat” at Huron High School and steps that are being taken to ensure student safety.
According to the statement sent by Superintendent Terry Nebelsick, Huron High School Principal Mike Radke and School Resource Officer (SRO) Phillip Van Diepen learned last Thursday from a parent that a student had reported seeing pencil graffiti in early October, on a stall in a boys’ bathroom, which read: “school shooting October 31.”
When the student returned to the restroom the following day, he did not see the graffiti. During the two-week period afterward, the student shared this information with another student, who in turn shared the information with a parent, who notified school officials on Oct. 18. An inspection by Radke and Van Diepen revealed no trace of the graffiti. It was verified that the student saw the graffiti, but as of this time there are no leads to follow as to its author.
