Saratoga County Sheriff’s Dep’t: School Shooting Threat at Ballston Spa Deemed Not Credible

BALLSTON SPA — At 8:15 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office says it received a call from a resident reporting that their juvenile son received a Snap Chat message earlier in the evening containing a threat of a school shooting at the Ballston Spa Central School District. 

An investigation conducted by Sheriff’s Office members, including Investigators and School Resource Officers (SRO’s), identified the person who sent the message, and determined that the person who sent the message did not have the means to carry out the threat and that the threat was not credible.

Additional Sheriff’s Office patrols will be at the Ballston Spa Schools due to this information being passed along on social media. 

“The individual who sent the threatening text message will be held accountable,” reads a statement released by the Sheriff’s Office, although it did not specify what that accountability will involve. “An additional update will be sent once that information can be released publicly.”
