WCS Address Shooting Rumors

"We want to reassure people we are taking every precaution we can take," Dr.Lee Harman, superintendent of Warsaw Community Schools, said this morning. Harman went on the air this morning with WRSW Radio personality Roger Grossman in an attempt to allay fears associated with rumors that a shooting was to take place today at Warsaw Community High School. Grossman said he called Harman after receiving several telephone calls from parents concerned about whether to send their children to school. Warsaw Police Department conducted a thorough investigation of the rumor, Harman said, which he believes resulted from a situation Monday in which a student allegedly made threats to shoot and/or bomb the high school.A story regarding that incident was published in Tuesday's Times-Union and, as a result, Harman said, the anxiety level of the community is climbing. "We found no reason to feel there was any real threat to student safety," Harman said.
