The Muscle Shoals Police Department takes any and all threats made toward our schools very seriously. Each threat will be vigorously investigated until we are certain the matter is closed, with the utmost confidence in the safety of our school children and school staff.
As always, we appreciate the Muscle Shoals City School System in their efforts to combat these threats, and we thank the parents for coming forward in this situation to provide necessary information deemed vital to this case.
