CHURCHILL, PA – Further unrest occurred at Woodland Hills High School on Wednesday when a student allegedly threatened to bring a gun into the building during a live stream on Instagram this morning.

Principal Shelly Manns said in a letter to families that extra precautions were taken during the morning security checks. Churchill police have been notified and the district has been in contact with the department all day.

“The student who hosted the show on Instagram Live and the student who allegedly made the threat were not at school today,†Manns wrote. “All the rumors of guns in high school were unfounded.”

All afternoon school activities at school have been canceled.

Manns wrote that all threats to the school will be investigated and any student found guilty of making false threats or making false reports will be punished.

Woodland Hills switched to online learning for two days last week after multiple fighting that erupted on Wednesday was followed by what district officials called “credible threats” of further violence. In-person teaching resumed on Monday.
