Cliff Williams / The Tribune Tallassee Mayor Sarah Hill made a statement about the threat at the Tallassee Elmore County football game.

Tallassee Mayor Sarah Hill was appreciative of how authorities responded to the threat at the Tallassee-Elmore County football game Friday night.

“I want to thank our (Tallassee City Schools) administration, Tallassee Police Department, Elmore County Schools administration, Eclectic Police and Elmore County Sheriff's Office for their swift actions (Friday) evening,” Hill said in a statement. “I echo (Tallassee superintendent) Dr. (Brock) Nolin's statements that one bad actor can ruin one of our long-cherished traditions of Friday night football games. I hope there is quick resolution on the bad actors.”

Hill said she hopes no one has to experience anything like this again.

“I hope all of our children are able to heal from this unfortunate event and may God Bless us all,” Hill said.
