On Saturday morning the Trion Police Department was notified of a picture of an unidentifiable person holding a rifle and a few captions that had been added to the photo. One of the captions said, “Who Next” and another caption was “Trion High School”. Police began conducting interviews. It was determined that the image was possibly pulled from the internet and the captions were later added by juveniles. The juveniles then shared or uploaded the image to a social media platform. Two juveniles have been charged with Terroristic Threats and Harassing Communications. Trion Police and School officials did a walk through and search of the school yesterday. Authorities said it was a precautionary measure before school resumed today. Law Enforcement and school officials say any communicated threats will be taken seriously. There are additional police officers at Trion today.
