SOUTHLAKE, Texas — Classes are scheduled to resume on Thursday after a potential threat of a school shooting at Southlake Carroll High School and Carroll Senior High School, officials said.
Wednesday night, police said they have identified the students involved and "determined there is no credible threat to students or public safety."
The Carroll Independent School District posted an update early Wednesday about a threat received overnight, prompting the school closures while Southlake police "conduct a thorough investigation." Shortly before 3 p.m., the school district announced on social media that all after-school activities had also been canceled as authorities "continue their investigation of a security threat."
Officials said the threat, which was reported through the district's STOPit System, was "isolated to CHS."
"However, due to the scheduling of students who take classes at each campus, we are closing both out of an abundance of caution," the district statement said.
Police said the threat involved a message written on a bathroom stall door "by someone referring to the [STAAR] test and a potential school shooting" on Wednesday.
"No specific target was identified and no additional details were provided in the message," police said in a statement.
Students at Southlake Carroll High School and Carroll Senior High School will return to campus on Thursday, the district said.
