Police Investigate Threat Written On Blaine High School Wall
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- About one month after a student brought a gun into Blaine High School, a message written on a bathroom wall had staff and students on edge Wednesday.
Someone posted a photo to social media which showed a bathroom tile with this message written in pen: "2-9-17 Will Be Blaine's Bloodest [sic] Day."
According to the Blaine Police Department, just before 2 p.m. officers were contacted by the school of the incident.
Blaine police said the message was vague but "could have been perceived as a potential threat."
That afternoon, Jason Paske, Blaine High School's interim principal, sent a letter to parents explaining there had been an incident. Without elaborating on the exact wording of the message, Paske told parents the school and police were working to resolve the matter, but that no actual threat was detected.
"Our investigation is determining there is no credible threat to safety and the focus remains on confirming which students were involved," Paske said.
Blaine police said they will have extra officers on patrol at the school Thursday.
