FORT WORTH, Texas – Authorities in Fort Worth, Texas have apprehended two students from the Northwest Independent School District after discovering a concerning document outlining a school attack plan and a “watch list” naming 25 middle school students. The document, discovered by district officials at Wilson Middle School, detailed a planned assault on students and staff members at the school, prompting swift action by law enforcement and school authorities.
Upon receiving a tip from a parent, officials began investigating the online document, which included a list of 32 targeted individuals, comprising 25 students and seven staff members at Wilson Middle School. The shared document allegedly contained language mirroring threats seen at other schools across the country, raising serious concerns about the safety of the school community.
After identifying the students responsible for creating and sharing the document, the district’s technology team worked with Fort Worth police to arrest the suspects, with felony charges pending. In accordance with school policies, any student found to be involved in the document but not facing arrest will be disciplined under the district’s student code of conduct.
As the investigation continues, additional security measures and counseling support will be provided at the school to ensure the well-being of students and staff. The district emphasized the importance of transparent communication and urged anyone with information about the document or the individuals involved to contact the Fort Worth Police Department.
This incident at Wilson Middle School comes in the wake of another threatening situation in the Tarrant County area, where Carroll Independent School District had to cancel classes at two high schools due to a school shooting threat. The swift response from law enforcement and school authorities highlights the critical importance of vigilance and cooperation within the community to ensure the safety of all students and staff members.
