So the author of the story has some reporting errors. This is a MIDDLE school, NOT a high school.The headline says high school, but the story says middle school. I thought they had an editor to make sure the information lines up. Thankfully, there were no injuries, and the threat was without merit.

Just stupid, what is wrong with these kids today. Charge the parents and the kid. They need to give power back to teachers and principals. Bring back zero tolerance!!
