A threatening message scribbled on a bathroom stall forces Penn High School to takes extra security measures.
Friday extra police will be on hand at Penn High School in Mishawka.
In January a message that said “This time it's for real. Everyone dies. April 18." was scratched on the boy's bathroom stall.
The school doesn't believe the threat holds any credibility but they still wanted to take precautions. This is the second threat found in the schools’ bathroom this school year.
Students worried for their safety can take an excused absence tomorrow.
“We do not have any evidence that this is a credible threat .. if we believed it was a credible threat we would close school,” says Dr. Jerry Thacker, Superintendent for PHM schools.
“I know there are chances it could be a real danger but I see how they handle the situation and I am confident we will be fine,” says Penn High School senior Kendra Snodgrass.
A letter was sent home with students after the threat happened letting parents know about the security plan.
There was also a posting on the school's website.
