Incident Remains Under Investigation
“We are collaborating with the Henry County Police Department as they continue their investigation into this incident,” said Henry County Schools Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis in response to the incident on Thursday afternoon.
“Also, we are looking into the situation internally. I’ll keep doing everything I can to make sure that students can learn in a secure environment at our schools.”
Hightower shared with Washington that she is still worried about things. Hightower added, “I’m a little worried that a kid was able to bring anything like that into the school. “Hopefully, they’ll be talking to us about some new security measures in the future.”
Because of their age, the names of the involved students were withheld.
