Rumors can spread like wildfire and thankfully a recent rumor about Uintah High School is false. The Uintah County Sheriff’s Office made an announcement on Thursday stating clearly that there have been NO threats of school shooting or violence made against Uintah High School, the campus around the high school, or any students. “Sheriff’s deputies were investigating a picture that has circulated around the internet for quite some time, however, the picture DID NOT contain any threats,” shares the Sheriff’s Office. “We investigate these things because we will always err on the side of caution.” Uintah High School also made an announcement in response to the rumors stating that law enforcement are appreciated and officers had been in and out of the building for two days but not because of any threats. They emphasized that the safety of students and staff are taken very seriously and if there had been any threats, parents and students would be informed.
