FORT WORTH, Texas – Concerns were raised at Wilson Middle School when a disturbing document outlining a potential attack on students and staff was discovered. The document, which included a “watch list” of 25 students, resulted in the arrest of two Northwest Independent School District students.
Officials from the Northwest ISD were informed by a parent about the alarming content of the document, prompting an investigation into the matter. The shared document detailed a planned attack on individuals at Wilson Middle School in far north Fort Worth, leading to heightened security measures at the school.
The document, which contained a list of 32 individuals targeted in the attack plan, aroused serious concerns among officials. Identified students responsible for creating and editing the document were apprehended by Fort Worth police, with potential felony charges pending.
In response to the incident, the district has taken steps to ensure the safety of students and staff at Wilson Middle School.
