Hume-Fogg High School threat deemed a 'hoax' after police clear building

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville police responded to Hume-Fogg Academic High School on Friday due to a phoned-in threat and found it to be fake.

See video of the scene in the player above.

"The call appears to be a hoax and did not originate from the school," officials with Metro Nashville Public Schools said in a statement Friday afternoon. "There were a handful of students and staff in the building at the time for wrestling practice. The police searched the building out of an abundance of caution and cleared it of any threat. We appreciate the MNPD’s commitment to the safety of our schools."

According to police, school security did not see anything and schools are closed for winter break.

Metro Police cleared the school out of an abundance of caution.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
