 A rumor of a possible school shooting circulated on social media late last night and prompted some parents to hold their children back from attending class at Black Duck public schools. A staff member with the Black Duck school district tells us that there was a threat discovered, but the threat was unfounded. Black Duck police said the rumor was not credible and caused mainly by social media. Police then asked individuals to remove the inaccurate social media posts and determined that it was safe for students to attend class. Some parents reached out to us and said that they were upset and uncomfortable sending their children to school. At this time it is unknown whether those who started the rumor will be disciplined by the school district. Officers were at the school throughout the day today to answer questions and reassure safety.
