Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) responded to a threat of a school shooting at Walkersville High School on Wednesday around 10:35AM.

Per FCSO:

“This morning at 10:35 a.m., the threat of a school shooting was air dropped into the phones of three students in one classroom at Walkersville High School. Two classrooms were placed in a Hold status, meaning all students and staff remained in place while the threat was investigated.

Our deputies and FCPS Maryland administrators conducted an immediate investigation and completed a sweep of the classrooms. There is no indication the threat is credible.

As FCPS conducts their own internal investigation, the FCSO will conduct a separate investigation and if warranted charges will be issued.”
