On 4/13/2017 the Port Neches Police Dept. was made aware of possible terroristic threats that occurred at Port Neches Groves High School. School officials notified the Police Dept. that there were several students that overheard another student talking about the Columbine school shooting and how cool it would be to shoot students and teachers on the anniversary of the Columbine school shooting on April 20th.
