There will be an increased presence Friday morning at Smithfield High School.

There were rumors swirling that there was a hit list and there was going to be a shooting at the school.

A spokesperson for Isle of Wight Schools says the principal and his administration team worked with police and conducted a thorough investigation and found the threat rumors were unfounded.
