There was extra police presence this morning at Hutchinson High School, but investigators say rumors of threats by a student or students that circulated through the building and on social media yesterday were *not* credible. Hutchinson Police Chief Dan Hatten says, “Doesn’t appear to be any valid threat of someone blowing up the school or shooting up the school…. Literally appears to be a social media rumor that got started and literally spread throughout the community.”
Hutchinson School District officials emphasize they take all reports of threats seriously.
