SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an alleged threat of violence at a Kansas middle school.
Just before 9:00 a.m. Thursday, police responded to a report of a possible school threat at Hadley Middle School, 1101 North Douglas in Wichita, according to Officer Trevor Macy.
Students at the school reported seeing a post on Instagram that appeared to show someone holding a gun in what appeared to be a bathroom. The Instagram account also had posted threats, which prompted students to inform a teacher who called 911.
Officers responded, and an investigation began into who posted the image and the threats. It was later determined that the photo was not taken at Hadley Middle School.
Police are still working to determine who was involved and released no additional details late Thursday afternoon.
