The online report system prevents shooting at school in Indiana

According to a recently published press release, a national online threatening system for schools has averted mass shooting at a high school in Indiana this month.

Court documents show that a tip for the Sandy Hook promise said some anonymous reporting system that a friend planned on February 14 at the Mooresville High School, just ordered a ball-safe vest and had access to a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle.

Say something that crisis consultants received on February 11th and reported it to the FBI. It contained news from a chat application called Discord, in which the suspect wrote: “Parkland part two … I have planned that for a year.”


The FBI confirmed that the threat on the same day was credible and that the local authorities were aware of. On February 12, the officials searched the suspect's house and found ammunition, written threats and a bedroom inserted with pictures of murderers, according to the affidavit for a probable reason. The suspect, a senior of the Mooresville High School, was arrested and accused that day.

According to Sandy Hook Promise, a non -profit organization that has developed the free, anonymous reporting system and its answering crisis center to protect children from damage, the 17th credible shooting for the credible school prevented something that corresponds to the program in 2018.

The NO-COST system offers the students three ways to report potential threats: an app, a website and a hotline. Trained consultants who are available around the clock check each tip and alert the authorities if necessary. According to the Sandy Hook Promise website, more than 120 school districts in the USA use.

Students in districts who implement the system also receive free training courses to recognize the signs, especially in social media, so that a classmate is at risk of damage to themselves or others – and how important it is to report it immediately.

The prevention of a mass shooting at the Mooresville High School remembers that such a training can save lives, according to Sandy Hook Promise, the co-founder Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan 2012 was killed in the tragedy of the Sandy Hook primary school.

“The result of these events in Mooresville is a new hope that we can end shootings,” said Hockley in a public statement. “Learn the warning signs of violence and become an increase in prevention and not a viewer of violence.”
