Authorities are investigating a threat to Parkston Schools. Police Chief Corrinna Wagner says the district received a threat late Saturday night. She says Parkston Police, the Hutchinson County Sheriff’s Office, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and the FBI are involved in the investigation.
A subsequent Facebook post by Parkston Police said the information received was for potential gun violence toward the school and the investigation is still going on. It went on to say no credible threat has been found and anyone with concerns should contact either Parkston Police or the School District.
Wagner says school will start at its regular time this morning with Police present.
Parent Ann Jacobsen says she received a call from the school district shortly after 4pm Sunday. It acknowledged a threat of violence was made but it did not appear to be credible.
