A Marathon High School student confessed to writing graffiti Tuesday near a school bathroom that included a swastika and the threat of a bomb being on campus. The threat led principal Hammond Gracy to order the school evacuated around 12:30 p.m.
“We found graffiti by the restrooms that made a veiled threat there was a bomb on campus. With the Sheriff’s Office, we made a complete search of the campus and nothing was found. We agreed to put the kids back in school,” he said.
Gracy didn’t reveal the identity of the student. “One of the students did confess to making the threat. I can’t talk about the student at all,” he said.
Gracy said parents were contacted via the district’s automated call system to let them know their kids were safe.
It was the second time in a week threats were found at a Keys high school.
Friday, graffiti found at Key West High said the school would be shot up. Also found that day was a bullet clip, but police don’t believe that was related to the threats; rather, they say a law enforcement officer may have accidentally dropped the clip while at a previous school function.
