ORIGINAL STORY:

DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (BRPROUD) — A possible threat to the Denham Springs Freshman High School campus is being investigated Friday morning, according to Livingston Parish Public School Superintendent Joe Murphy.

Murphy released this statement about the threat:

“Livingston Parish Public Schools and the Denham Springs Freshman High School administration are aware of a potential threat to the campus. In response, multiple law enforcement agencies are actively investigating the matter. As a result of the ongoing investigation, no evidence of a credible threat at the school has been confirmed at this time. However, out of an abundance of caution, the DSFHS campus and the Denham Springs High School campus are in restricted flow. Students are being held in the safety of air-conditioned first block. Visitors are not allowed on campus at this time until the restricted flow is lifted. As updates are available we will notify the public.”

This is not the first time that Livingston Parish Public Schools have been affected by threats this school year. Last month, a bomb threat was sent via email to the school system.
