\u201cNone of the information that we have received is any implication that someone would shoot up a school,\u201d Tamez said. He said officers are investigating threats made toward the family of the victim in Monday\u2019s shooting, but none of those threats involved school campuses.<\/p>\n
\u201cParents, I know it\u2019s a tough time. It\u2019s a scary time. We\u2019ve had two shootings recently. I\u2019m asking you\u2014don\u2019t panic,\u201d he said. \u201cIf the threat was to scare parents, well the goal is accomplished. Folks, I\u2019m telling you right now, your kids are very safe in that school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tamez added that his department has not seen any threats posted online and reiterated that no credible threat has been directed at any school.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a lot of law enforcement presence there, and the safety of your children is our priority,\u201d he said. \u201cWe do take these threats serious. We have threats made to individuals\u2019 families, like we do right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
