Investigators say students identified a teacher and other students as targets in a threat at a North Carolina Middle School.
A sworn affidavit has been written up by law enforcement alleging the minor students committed the class h felony of communicating a threat of mass violence on education property, according to Lt. Jessica Sadonikov, with the Scotland County Sheriff’s Office. A judge was petitioned by law enforcement to go pick them up and take the juveniles into custody.
Lt. Sadonikov confirmed to News13 that three kids were involved and a fourth student may have been involved.
The accused students allegedly named a teacher and several individual students specifically as targets in an attack at Carver Middle School, Lt. Sadonikov also said. They allegedly alluded to reenacting a Columbine scenario. The conversations were reported by a faculty member who found the online posts last week. The affidavit was reportedly written up on Friday.
