Parents and staff were shaken up after a fake social media account was created to look like the Katy ISD Police Department tweeted an alleged school bomb threat.
The district confirmed that this did not come from their verified Twitter account.
“After further investigation, it has been determined that the fake messages that referenced school bomb threats originated from an external source that had created digitally altered tweets designed to look like they were posted by the Katy ISD Police Department,” the district said in a statement. “Katy ISD Police and our Technology teams continue to investigate all leads and information pertaining to these fake social media posts.”
