A handwritten note was found this morning at Leroy Massey Elementary School that implied a shooting.  School officials and law enforcement have deemed the threat to be not credible, but the school will remain on a soft lockdown for the remainder of the day.  Chattooga County School Supt. Michelle Helie issued the following statement:

Late this morning, we were made aware of a handwritten note that was found at one of our school locations, implying a shooting was supposed to happen. Due to the sensitivity of the message in the note, Leroy Massey Elementary School was placed on a full lockdown. The School Resource Officers completed the investigation and deemed there was no credible threat to any of our schools, as the information was a recycled list of Title I schools, which you can find on the Georgia Department of Education’s website. Leroy Massey Elementary School and all other schools will continue to operate in our soft lockdown mode for the remainder of the school day.
