Re: Threats
While it sounds like it may have been just a prank the school had no choice but to take it seriously due to liability issues. If they had just ignored the note after it was brought to thier attention and then an actual shooting had taken place then the board of ed, the school system, and the individuals that had been aware of the note would have been held liable. With society today, and incidents that have happened elsewhere, people don't want to take chances like they may have years ago.
The same thing goes for a false fire alarm. You don't know if it's real or not but you still evacuate the building and the fire department and police are notified.
