DONELSON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police are informing parents, teachers and staff that the threat overnight at Donelson Middle School was not credible.
The middle school received an emailed bomb threat overnight on Wednesday and contacted authorities. The school was subsequently placed on lockdown prior to the start of school. After sweeping the building, police determined the threat was not credible and cleared it for use.
Parents were notified and the school has continued normal operations.
"Threatening mass violence against a school is a crime and a zero-tolerance offense under district police," Metro Police stated."The MNPD will investigate to try and determine the source of the threat and take appropriate actions."

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
