Social Media Threats Nothing New For Nacogdoches High School 

Almost this exact, same scenario played out on campus on October 25th, 2021. There was a threat made to Nacogdoches High School via Snapchat. That post was also immediately investigated by campus personnel and Nacogdoches ISD Police.

The threat included a weapon on campus and was found to be a hoax. No one was harmed and they found it was not intended as a real threat.

Once the investigation was done, and the threat was determined to not be credible, the individual responsible was identified quickly. They faced disciplinary consequences at that time and this doesn't seem to be a related issue.
