Authorities are investigating a report that a student there warned the principal of impending violence similar to that depicted in the movie "The Purge."
KATC is reporting that the W.D. Smith Career Center in Lafayette is on lockdown as authorities investigate a report that a student there warned the principal of impending violence similar to that depicted in the movie The Purge, which depicts a dystopian future in which citizens are allowed an annual night of murder and mayhem.
Details are sketchy but evidently a similar claim was made regarding Carencro High School.
Superintendent Pat Cooper referenced the film in a quote to the television station, adding that he doesn't believe there is a legitimate threat of violence.
