MADISON, Wis. – Madison Police say detectives are still working to find the person responsible for making threats against Madison West High School earlier this week.
In a Snapchat shared with News 3 Now, the individual wrote:
“My revenge has come. West High School, I despise your students and culture and on May 17 I will seek revenge,” the post reads. “You can cancel school or add security that date, but that won’t stop me. I’ll simply Do it on another day … unannounced.”
Madison Metropolitan School District Spokesperson Tim Lemonds said the district was first made aware of the post Monday May 10, and says the district has since been working with MPD and Snapchat Representatives to resolve the issue.
As of Wednesday Morning, MPD says they have no update to provide.
Lemonds says there will be no changes to Madison West scheduling on May 17 – as the district had already planned to hold a virtual learning day.
This story will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.
