“We want to remind everyone that we take anything that can be considered a threat, very seriously. Regardless if it was written, spoken, or online, these threats have serious consequences,” police said in a social media post. “Parents, we encourage you to talk to your children about the seriousness of making threats, even as a joke. If a student is struggling at school, we urge them to seek help from teachers, counselors, or trusted adults rather than resorting to planning harmful actions."
