Another school threat being investigated

Garden City KS – The Garden City Police Department is aware of a circulating social media post connected to our investigation on September 18, which contains statements and multiple pictures implying a school threat. This post resurfaced last night and has been shared across multiple social media platforms.

 At this time, the Garden City Police Department is not aware of credible threats against any Garden City schools, staff, or students.
