On Tuesday, a 13-year-old was detained in Wayne County after threatening to harm several schools. Investigators connected the 13-year-Instagram old’s posts to him after being informed of the posts by school administrators, according to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
The 13-year-old was detained and charged with communicating a threat of widespread violence on educational grounds as a juvenile. Threats were posted via Instagram’s stories feature from an account.
The tweets claimed that the violence had been planned “for months,” and it appeared that this was the motivation behind the threats as Black History Month got underway.
