Person in custody

According to the Winner School District Facebook page, this evening, Winner School District administration was contacted by law enforcement regarding the threats made on social media today. They informed the Winner School District administration that they had a person in custody with relation to the incident.  School is in session Thursday in the Winner School District.

This is a message from the Winner School District

Following the threats today, our schools have been secured and all students and staff are safe and have been released for the day. After meeting with law enforcement, we have made the decision to have a regular day of school tomorrow, Thursday, October 10th. Although it is difficult to say that there is no credibility to any threat, it was determined by authorities that this specific threat originated outside of the Winner area through a social media platform. In an abundance of caution for the security of our students and staff, we will have police present at our buildings at the start of school tomorrow. If you have any specific questions or further information please contact law enforcement or your school administration.

Thank You.
