COLUMBIA, Mo.

A student at Southern Boone Middle School made a threatening statement while at school, according to the district.

An email was shared with parents and staff after the statement was made on Thursday afternoon.

The statement says building administrators were immediately informed and the Ashland Police Department was contacted.

No other information was provided by the district, citing privacy laws.

Last school year, there were at least four situations made at Southern Boone.

This follows a recent uptick in school threats and hoax reports of shootings nationwide.
