Harford County Investigates School Violence Threats

Recent threats of school violence have emerged as a significant concern across the U.S., with a notable incident in Harford County, Maryland, where a high school student was charged for posting a threat on Snapchat. Over the past week, the Harford County Sheriff's Office has investigated nearly a dozen similar threats, reinforcing their commitment to student safety while adhering to juvenile privacy laws that prevent disclosing the charged student's identity.
