Source of Paul Breaux Middle School Social Media Threat Located, Arrested—Class in Session as Normal Today
Lafayette Parish School System announced that class will be in session as normal at Paul Breaux Middle School on Monday (May 9) after a threat was made on social media.
Two screengrabs from Facebook users Kitty Bob made their rounds on social media this weekend, causing some Paul Breaux Middle School parents to make the decision to keep their children at home from school on Monday to keep them safe.
According to a Monday morning release from LPSS, the "source" of the threat that circulated online was "located and arrested." LPSS also announced that school would be in session as normal today with added security on hand as a precautionary measure.
