“He was not in school today," she told the Associated Press,. "He just said that 'Ma, I don’t feel comfortable. None of the kids that we go to school with are going today.' "

McCabe acknowledged there are rumors about warning signs and said that they are being investigated.

“We’re hearing all kinds of rumors about warning signs. … There’s all kinds of stuff out on social media. Please don't believe everything you hear and see on social media," he said.

When asked about threats the school previously addressed and a prior incident involving a severed deer head on campus, McCabe said Tuesday's violence was unrelated.
