Investigators with the Charles County Sheriff’s Office Homeland Security and Intelligence Section and school resource officers are working to probe a threat that was distributed among the student body on Wednesday, March 23.

According to the sheriff’s office, the message indicated that a bomb would be detonated at all Charles County Schools on Friday, March 24, and students immediately reported the threat to administrators.
