KILLEEN, TX â For many school districts across the state, it s Spring Break. While some will use this next week to relax and unplug, some community leaders in Killeen are using this week to keep kids engaged.
It s no secret kids are naturally curious, but sometimes being too curious can get you into trouble. With this in mind, some community leaders are stepping up to give area kids something productive to do over the break. I remember being a teen here during Spring Break and not really having much to do, said Vantonio Fraley, owner and Creator of the IMpossible Teen Center.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a rare public bulletin in an effort to raise awareness of the threat of âideologically motivated violent extremistsâ called to action over âperceived grievances fueled by false narrativesâ in the aftermath of the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
A National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin was released Jan. 27 âdue to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration.â
The bulletin is used by DHS to warn of a general threat to the public. A specific, imminent threat would receive an âelevatedâ or âimminentâ alert designation.
