The department posted the message on Facebook, saying in part,"please talk with your children about the seriousness of these types of comments/threatening messages. They are not funny and are disrespectful to the victims of mass violence, disrespectful to our community, and disrespectful to our schools."
Officers say any individual found in connection with the threat will be arrested and prosecuted.
There have been a growing number of threats made toward Maryland schools since the Valentine's day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
