Subject: Great Mills High School Status Rumors
**MESSAGE SENT TO ALL PAXR & TD&S**
There are a variety of rumors circulating this this afternoon regarding a alleged gunman and/or other threats at Great Mills High School. There are several sources of these rumors, including students at the high school. We have confirmed with both the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Dept. and Public Schools that these reports are only rumors and are based loosely on a threat received yesterday and the arrest of the individual responsible for that threat. As a precaution, several Sheriff's deputies were assigned duty at the school this morning, but have now returned to their regular patrols. The St. Mary's County Public Schools and Sheriff's Department ask that parents rest assured that any reports they have heard today are rumors and that there is no need for concern.
