Threat made on online gaming system toward students at Warren County Middle School

On Monday September 9, 2019, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of a threat made by a juvenile male on an online gaming system that threatened to do harm to students at Warren County Middle School.

The call was received early this morning and the juvenile was quickly detained and interviewed by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office prior to the start of the school. The investigation determined that the threat was made on Saturday, September 7, and was not reported until the early morning hours today. Because of the nature of the threat, and the fear it instilled in students who received a screen shot, there may be charges pending.

Any threat to do harm to our schools is taken very seriously and investigated to the fullest. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to report any threat promptly. “See something, say something.”
