Tremonton-Garland noted that they are seeing an increase in school shooting or attack threats, particularly around school breaks or long weekends. They believe it’s kids playing pranks to try to have longer breaks. They also note a complacency in school staff around safety, such as students consistently having knives on them, rifles in their vehicles, and doors unlocked and accessible. The Chief believes its mainly due to the “it can’t happen here” mentality and the prevalence of farming families in the area.
