EVERETT, MASS. (WHDH) - Everett School officials are investigating after a message threatening gun violence was discovered this week, Superintendent Priya Tahiliani said in a statement.

According to Tahiliani, the message was found on a bathroom wall threatening gun violence. While Everett Police found no evidence to support canceling school, Tahiliani said that security personnel and safety measures will be increased.

“This would be troubling under any circumstances but is particularly upsetting in light of what happened in Uvalde, Texas,” Tahiliani said.

No other information was made available.
