(From the Aurora and Marionville Police Department)Safety of our children is a top priority for police, the schools, and hopefully for everyone in the community. When things happen near our children, it’s of high importance and people should pay attention.
Sometimes, the messaging gets jumbled up, exaggerated, and often just completely made up.
Yesterday, a juvenile known to AMPD was near the Aurora pool, and appeared to be in possession of a knife. He was sharpening the knife and some level of verbal threats were being made.
AMPD immediately responded to a concerned call and ultimately we removed the child from the area. He was later turned over to a legal guardian and the juvenile authorities have been notified.
Because school activities were happening in the area, an alert was sent out to ensure parents and guardians were kept informed of the incident that took place near the school function.
- No one was stabbed
- No one was assaulted
- No one attempted to stab or assault anyone
We hope this clarifies any misinformation that has circulated.
