"School Administration and School Resource Officer Jordan Tozier worked throughout the evening of April 1 and on April 2, 2025, had identified a suspect, who is a student at Mount View High School.

"While conducting interviews on April 2, 2025, a second threat of violence was discovered and reported to school officials. This second threat was quickly able to be linked to the one from April 1, not requiring an evacuation or second search of the complex.
