ELK GROVE-

Parents in Elk Grove got a letter from a middle school principal Thursday about recent talk about a school shooting.

The letter from Albiani Middle School said they caught wind of a rumor of a school shooting, and had the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department investigate it. Deputies determined the information was just a rumor and not credible.

“I am sharing this information with you to keep you informed about incidents on our campus. … We take all reports very seriously,” said Albiani Middle School Principal, Melanie Dopson in the letter to parents.
