""What we know is that a student saw a concerning post on a friend's Instagram feed and reported it to our anonymous reporting system manned at our crisis center down in Miami," Hockley said. The posts included images of firearms, ammunition, and a mapped-out plan for attacking the school. The district told ABC7 News, it was Menlo-Atherton High School. Law enforcement later detained the student and recovered weapons from their home."
""Every time we avert another act of violence, every time we avert another planned school shooting attack, I know that is one more community that is not going to experience what I have," Hockley said. On Monday, the organization announced they helped stop a planned school attack within the Sequoia Union High School District out of Redwood City.

Nicole Hockley co-founded Sandy Hook Promise after her son Dylan was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Sandy Hook Promise offers a free resource that teaches students to recognize warning signs of violence and provides an anonymous reporting system staffed at a Miami crisis center. A student reported a concerning Instagram post that included images of firearms, ammunition, and a mapped plan to attack Menlo-Atherton High School. The report led law enforcement to detain the student and recover weapons from their home. The Sequoia Union High School District emphasized prevention measures and partnership with Sandy Hook Promise.
