Dear Requestor:

The Village of Wheeling has received your FOIA request and we need further clarification, as parts of your request seem unintentionally broad.

A portion of your request asks for "any emails, records and police reports from Wheeling Police Department referencing website '4chan' and/or 'Holmes Middle School." As this reads, it would require the Village to search all emails that reference in any way (or are from to two staff members) Holmes Middle School. My understanding is that you're looking for communications relating to a specific incident, but would like confirmation of this fact.
Regards,

Mallory A. Milluzzi

Mallory,

I can confirm that I'm seeking all available records related to a specific incident. I am aware that on Oct. 6, 2016, Crime Analyst Veronica Salazar discussed a threat originating from the 4chan website over email. I am investigating this alleged threat to Holmes Middle School. If Wheeling P.D. is able to respond with all of the records related to this incident specifically, I would not need access to anything else related to Holmes Middle School.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

From: Christine Lascola

Sincerely,
Chris LaScola #348
