Greene County was impacted by the Perry High School shooting incident.

Greene County Sheriff Jack Williams says he was part of the search team inside the Perry High School building. When asked if this was the first time he put their Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) into practice and he said it was. There were three other deputies that also assisted with the Perry incident. Grand Junction Rescue was also paged to the scene.

Williams tells Raccoon Valley Radio they also investigated a threat of a copycat shooting. It was determined that the individual who posted the threat on TikTok was from the United Kingdom and the FBI was notified, but there was no credible threat. 

During that investigation, Williams says he was in contact with both the Greene County School District Superintendent Brett Abbotts and Paton-Churdan School Superintendent Kreg Lensch about the threat and the events at Perry High School. Both superintendents decided to put their buildings into lockdown for less than one hour. Additionally, because P-C was back in session with students, Williams points out there were deputies at the school building and will continue through part of the upcoming week.
