SUMMARY: A Lanier High School student has been arrested and accused of making a threat on social media against the school. The student, who is a minor, is charged with making a terroristic threat and now faces federal prosecution. This arrest comes after social media threats were made to two other schools in Jackson. JPD officers have been at Forest Hill to assist campus enforcement to keep students, teachers, and staff safe and relieve fears in the community. Police Chief Joseph Wade said worried parents have reached out to him about the threats, including one that mentioned a specific time of day when something would happen. There will be a heavy police presence at Jim Hill High School as someone also made a similar threat for Thursday. Chief Wade wants everyone to know that JPD is not taking lightly what he calls a “terrorist act.”

SUMMARY: Months after gas explosions destroyed homes and cost a woman her life in South Jackson, investigation into the incidents revealed that natural gas lines in the city need repairs. Atmos Energy identified gas leaks in the area before the explosions, but considered them non-hazardous. The fallout from the explosions has led to concerns about gas pipeline safety in the city and statewide. Atmos Energy claims to prioritize safety and invest in enhancements, but concerns remain about the extent of the gas leak problem beyond Jackson. Public Service Commissioner Decatur Stamps emphasized the importance of safety measures such as calling 911 if gas is smelled and calling 811 before digging.

2 gas explosions days apart killed 1 and left many worried and questioning safety
