Chat, photo, spark Wamego school threat investigation
09/16/2024

(KNZA)--An online group chat mentions violence at Wamego's USD 320, and that led to a strong law enforcement presence Monday morning, as the threat was investigated.

That's according to a release from the Wamego Police Department, which says the investigation revealed "a non-threatening remark was made on Friday, which through communication between people, resulted in a perceived threat."
The release clarifies that later Monday morning, a photo of a firearm, from a magazine, was forwarded to students; and while there was no written threat, police say the photo "understandably caused concern."

However, the magazine is, in the words of the police, "in secure hands" and poses no threat.
