At the Triton Junior-Senior High School Nov. 4, in the restroom, a threatening letter was found. It contained a reference to killing people Nov. 19. Parents were notified of the letter.
A subsequent message was found in the girl's bathroom referencing the Nov. 19 threat, and then another letter contained a bomb threat.
