The records did not include specific details of the terroristic threats.
Six of the 13 threats were reported at Morales Junior High, records show. That’s the most of any Uvalde CISD school during the 2021-2022 school year.
A Uvalde High School receptionist said she receiving threats over the phone the day before the massacre, according to an email.
The receptionist notified then-UCISD police chief Pete Arredondo of the threats hours after the Robb Elementary shooting via email, documents show.
Additional records released by the district show two Uvalde students had plotted in 2018 to shoot up an unnamed school during their senior year, which would have been in 2022.
KSAT is not identifying the students because it’s unclear if they faced criminal charges.
According to a signed affidavit, one of the students said they became “obsessed” with the Columbine shooters and started making plans to secure weapons and make bombs.
The same student had drawings of swastikas and weapons, documents show.
KSAT reached out to Uvalde CISD spokesperson Anne Marie Espinoza on Aug. 28 but has yet to hear back.
