A Lincoln student posted a threatening image to Snapchat this Friday, May 26, depicting clipart of a gun in hand with the caption “don’t come to school today.” This caused a small uproar before the poster in question turned themselves in to the administration, claiming the post was a joke. An announcement was later made clarifying that the post, which had been circulating around the school, was in fact, a hoax.

A recent update to the Snapchat app allows for users to view other users’ posts if they were in the same geographic location, and this post may have entered circulation as a result of the user’s inexperience with this new update.

After the announcement, school returned to normal.
