LENOIR, N.C. — Caldwell County School System officials says the district has been the target of threatening comments from an out-of-state social media account.
According to officials, local law enforcement agencies are working with federal authorities to investigate the online threats. The threats began at about 12 a.m. on Monday, February 17th, but authorities say there is no imminent danger to any student.
