"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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
