Sheriff’s deputies and school resource officers arrived at the middle school around 9 a.m. to respond to the threats, which were posted on Instagram and Snapchat, according to a news release from the agency. Multiple suspects were identified and, at this point, are being treated as juveniles, the sheriff’s office said, noting that criminal charges could come from the investigation.
