SUMMARY: In the past month, several threats have emerged in schools across the Mid-South, prompting a response from various officials, including law enforcement and school district leaders. After a specific threat was called in at Southwind High School, all schools underwent a soft lockdown. Three students from Whitehaven were detained, though not connected to the initial threat. The superintendent assured parents that all communication was timely and that it’s safe for students to return to school. There is ongoing concern about potential copycat threats, and discussions are taking place to enhance safety measures moving forward.

Every Memphis-Shelby County School was placed on lockdown Wednesday after at least 15 schools received threats.
