In a recent government meeting, Sheriff Marr confirmed that an incident at West involved a stabbing, although he noted that there were no life-threatening injuries reported. The investigation is ongoing, with one individual currently in custody related to the incident.

Sheriff Marr also addressed the role of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) in monitoring potential threats, particularly through social media. He explained that local DPS criminal investigation unit members collaborate closely with law enforcement to assess threats and track down individuals involved in incidents, often utilizing IP addresses to trace the origin of concerning communications.

The discussion highlighted a series of recent incidents at local schools, including reports from Kay Bridal School, Victoria West, Victoria East, and Patty Welder. Many of these incidents were ultimately determined to be false alarms. Sheriff Marr emphasized that all reports are taken seriously and that investigations continue even after an initial assessment. He clarified that while some situations may conclude with an arrest, the investigation remains active to ensure thorough understanding and resolution of each case.

The meeting underscored the importance of vigilance and collaboration among law enforcement agencies in addressing safety concerns within the community.
