Earlier that morning, Superintendent Randy Thomley spoke with Doug Threadgill on Gold 97.7 FM WKXM, and gave some more details about the events that took place that day.
“Praise God that we didn’t have any employees or any students hurt,” Thomley said. “That morning, we received a phone call at Winfield Middle School.
