Spotlight on School Shooting Plot

In St. Tammany, Louisiana, three 15-year-olds have been arrested for plotting to kill at least one student and any law enforcement officers who might respond to the scene. Police believe they have arrested all of the individuals involved in the Lakeshore High School plot, but have not released any information regarding the motive. A prayer vigil was held the night before the start of school for concerned parents and students. The school principal has responded by calling parents to ensure additional security has been added at the school, as well as staff and counselors on-site to assist with concerned students.

With PublicSchoolWORKS’ Computer Reporting and Hotline Reporting systems, part of its award-winning StudentWatch Suite, parents and students are provided with 24/7 online and telephone reporting systems enabling them to report issues that might impact the safety of staff, students or property. These concerns include everything from weapons and drugs to self-injury issues like suicide, cutting and more. Has your school or district been a victim of violent threats?
