Warrick School Officials Promise Heightened Security after Threat of Shooting at Castle High

Boonville, IN
Warrick County School Corp. officials say there will be increased security, such as locking all outside doors except for the front entrance, in response to a threat a Castle High School student made on Facebook about bringing a weapon to school.

Monday's Warrick County School Board meeting was standing-room-only as more than 60 concerned parents and students turned out to discuss the incident.

The threat on the Castle High School student's Facebook page stated: "First day of school going to be great guys! Most of you will see me raise the weapon, but let's see how many of you can out run the bullet. Castle high here I come." The student then commented on this post, saying "The funny part is most of you take this as a joke."
