WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Wilson Central High School was evacuated after two “harmful threats” were called in — one to WCHS and one to Wilson County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch.

A Wilson County Schools spokesperson said in a video posted to social media one of the threats called in was a bomb threat. Two minutes later, another threat was called into the sheriff’s office at around 9 a.m. Students were evacuated to an indoor athletic facility near the football field. All students, teachers and staff were safe, according to the school district.

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office conducted necessary sweeps and investigations.

For safety precautions, no students were allowed to leave the school and no visitors were allowed in.

Capt. Scott Moore with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said investigators believe the threats were connected and both of the calls came in within a two-minute time frame. K-9’s from the Lebanon Police Department and Hendersonville Police Department responded to help with sweeping the school for explosive devices.

None of the threats were substantiated after a very thorough search of the building and students were allowed back into their classrooms around noon Monday.

Despite that, some parents told News 2 they assumed the worst because few details about the type of threats were released.

“They said, ‘a threat,'” Kelly Bandy, a Wilson Central high parent said. “Well, is that a gunman? Is it a bomb? We could have some better communication.”

A spokesperson for Wilson County Schools said following the district’s initial messaging to families, they posted multiple public updates throughout the ordeal and after it was resolved.

That didn’t stop some from spreading false rumors on social media which caused unnecessary stress for many family members.

“I saw the post on Facebook saying that there was an active shooter, and then my little sister, Jasmine texted me and called me four times saying (she heard) there were some bombs in the bathrooms, and I bolted my a** all the way through here,” Jade Merritt, a student’s sister, said. “It terrified me.”

Parents and siblings lined up for a mile outside of the school anxiously waiting to pick up their students.

“It’s nerve-wracking; it’s kind of irking, but they got to do what they got to do, it’s kind of policy like the officer said over there, so I understand,” Merritt said. “Whatever gets the kids out safely, that’s all that matters to me.”
