A 45-year-old mother in Texas is wanted by police after she allegedly went to her child’s middle school and threatened to shoot it up because her child was being bullied. Cicerly Nicole Walker is currently charged with one count of felony terroristic threat, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
According to a probable cause affidavit, officers with the Aldine Independent School District Police Department responded to a call around 11:30 a.m. Jan. 30 about an unauthorized individual on campus at Hoffman Middle School, which is on West Little York Road.
Upon arriving at the scene, a responding officer met with the school’s assistant principal, who explained that a parent, later identified as Walker, had “entered school grounds without permission” and began “disrupting” the environment.
Walker allegedly entered the school through a locked door that needs to be opened by a school clerk. Surveillance footage allegedly showed that Walker “ran through the door behind a student” after that student was granted entry. The clerk quickly realized that Walker was not authorized to be in the school and contacted the principal.
Two 12-year-old students spoke to police and reported that Walker was “yelling loudly and causing a disturbance in the hallway.”
“The situation escalated when the Defendant entered the school cafeteria, approaching and making threats to them and several other minor complainants in the cafeteria,” the affidavit states. “[A 12-year-old student] stated to me that the Defendant questioned her if she and others have been bullying her child. [The 12-year-old student] also stated that the Defendant stated she would return and shoot up school. [The 12-year-old student] stated that she was in fear for her life.”
Both 12-year-old girls said that many other students were in the cafeteria at the time and heard Walker make “the threat of shooting up the school and they believed that they were in fear for their lives, causing panic and distress among those present.”
The school clerk confirmed to police that Walker’s child was a student at the school and had Walker’s photo on file. When shown the photo, the two 12-year-old students both positively identified Walker as the person who made the alleged threat.
