PENNFIELD (WKZO-AM) — A social media threat triggered a 25-minute lockdown at Pennfield Middle School on Thursday.
Calhoun County Sheriff’s investigators say it was discovered before 1:30 p.m. on Instagram. They say an eighth grader, who wasn’t at school that day, posted a picture of a rifle with a threatening caption after his mother ordered him to stop playing a video game.
Deputies traced the post to a residence on 22nd Street in Pennfield, where the child was found and taken into custody.
