Second school shooting threat locks down Haskell schools

For the second time in three days in the tiny town of Haskell, a heavy police presence could be found at each school in the district.

Haskell Police Chief Zachery Stephens says a serious threat made on the night of November 5 led to school-wide lockdown on November 6.

"There was an 18-year-old male who had threatened to shoot up the school," Stephens said. "His words. And he was speaking to a juvenile female on the phone at church that night, and that was overheard."

Stephens says the 18-year-old who made the threat is Evan Harjo. Harjo also made similar threats on the morning of November 4, leading to a lockdown that day.

"The threats that came in today seemed to be a little more," Stephens said. "And we're just doing everything we can to locate him."
