Corpus Christi Independent School District Police are investigating a photo that is being circulated on social media, showing a man holding a rifle, making a threat against “CHS” and warning people not to go to school.
Parents and students at Carroll High School have circulated the photo locally, but CCISD Police say the school is safe and that the threat does not appear to be directed at any local school.
