Shooting Friday.” The email also reminded parents to talk to students about using the Safe School Helpline as a confidential way to report student safety concerns.

A possible threat directed toward Jimtown High School turned out to be linked to a social media hoax. Elkhart County Sheriff’s Deputies determined the threat was made towards schools throughout the country with the initials “J-H-S.” School officials and deputies stated that the threat was not made specifically towards Jimtown.
