School Goes Under Lockdown After Social Media Post
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Police in Burlington, Vermont, say a social media post with threatening language aimed at the local high school was traced back to a juvenile in Minnesota.
Police said they received a complaint Wednesday about the posts, which also were directed to federal government entities and individuals, including President Barack Obama. A decision was made to place Burlington High School under a modified lockdown as a precaution.
Police said after the posts were traced, the lockdown was lifted.
Police said they will continue to communicate with Minnesota authorities and federal agencies about the posts.
