School leader urging vigilance, calm after concerning social media messages

The superintendent for Collier County Public Schools addressed media Thursday, in an attempt to clear up the confusion caused by a concerning social media post. The unknown sender of the post - which the Sheriff's Office deemed was not a credible threat - mentioned that the sender had heard that someone might "shoot up a school," and that the supposed gunman went to Gulf Coast High School. Once word got around about the post Wednesday, many parents picked their kids up from the school.
