Blount County Teenager Arrested After Allegedly Leaving Post-It Notes Outside William Blount High Threatening To "Shoot Up The School"
A Blount County teenager has been arrested after allegedly leaving Post-It notes on a column outside William Blount High School, threatening to "shoot up the school." The 16-year-old boy is a sophomore there and the notes left allegedly said the shootings would occur in March around the school's spring break. The school resource officer told BCSO that the teenager was identified in a video outside the school. The Sheriff's Office said he does not have access to weapons and that there were no individual students singled out in the Post-Its. He's been charged with delinquent by false report, and is being held in the Blount County Juvenile facility pending a hearing that will be held within 72 hours.
