Threats of violence in schools are nothing new, but the Feb. 14 slaying of 17 at a high school in Parkland, Fla. seemingly sparked a nationwide resurgence of terroristic threats being uttered by students, including some in Bulloch County. Since the Parkland shooting, where troubled and expelled former student Nikolas Cruz gunned down 17 at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, four local public school students and a university student have been charged with either making threats of violence or falsely reporting such threats. None of them had weapons.
