Superintendent Malone updates Fall River on threats and safety measures

Regarding the two social media threats that were levied against Durfee and other Fall River schools, Superintendent Matthew Malone has stated that while the investigation involving local and federal authorities is ongoing and the threats are being taken seriously, neither threat appears to be credible at the present time.
