Surge in U.S. School Threats After Georgia Shooting

Multiple high schools across the United States faced bomb threats, leading to evacuations and lockdowns. A minor in Reidsville, NC, was charged with making threats against Bethany Community School via social media, and similar threats led to the arrest of a middle schooler in Beaufort, SC, and a 15-year-old in Baltimore County. Bellaire High School in Houston was placed in secure mode after a bomb threat, while United High School in Texas and High Pointe Elementary in Missouri were evacuated. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been involved in clearing schools of any real danger, and authorities emphasize the seriousness of such threats and the legal consequences for those involved.
