On the afternoon of October 1 , 2015 , during the school 's homecoming celebration , Ashland Police Department officers put the school into lockdown following a potential threat of a school shooting . An AHS alumnus had posted to Facebook a photo of a gun with threatening statements against the school . The Umpqua Community College shooting had taken place about three and a half hours prior , prompting the police to take the situation especially seriously . Students were kept in classes 10 minutes past the end of the day and the homecoming parade was cancelled . The threat was later deemed too vague to represent a significant danger
