A teenager was arrested for threatening to attack his high school with a gun in a video he posted to social media, according to a report.
The principal at South Gwinnett High School in Georgia released a letter that said the school takes all threats “very seriously” and that safety is their “top priority.” The video obtained by WSB-TV 2 News shows the student loading a handgun and saying, “South Gwinnett, you’re next.”
The threat comes after an alleged shooter killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14.
“Acts that threaten the well-being of our school community will not be tolerated. We take all threats of this manner very seriously,” the principal said in the letter. “The safety of the students and staff of South Gwinnett High School is our top priority.”
