HUTCHINSON – Law enforcement authorities and school officials in Hutchinson are investigating additional social media comments on possible threats at Hutchinson High School, according to USD 308 spokesman Ray Hemmen

The school district sent a message to parents on Thursday morning that indicated Hutchinson Police had become aware of a lot of social media chatter, relaying rumors of activities at the high school.

Police have interviewed almost a dozen students to determine the source of the rumor but have been unable to substantiate this as anything but a rumor.

Investigators do not believe there are any current, credible threats at the school.

The message to parents reminds them they will notice additional officers around school on Thursday as a precaution, but that classes will continue as scheduled.
