PROVO, Utah — An assembly that was planned to be held at Timpview High School has been canceled following the school receiving threats on social media. Officials with the Provo School District confirmed the move with FOX 13 News and didn't give any indication of when it may be rescheduled.
The Provo Police Department says they were called at around 5:25 p.m. Wednesday about a threat on social media and informed the school district. Police say the post depicted what appeared to be a grim reaper with the phrases, 'Watch out Utah County,' and 'First stop Timpview High.'
Police then located the source of the post, who was a juvenile. Authorities say charges are being discussed with Juvenile Justice Services.
Out of an abundance of caution, Provo police will have extra patrol resources today at Timpview High School and Provo High School.
