MILTON, Pa. — Milton Area School District is closed Thursday, January 26, because of a threat.
School officials posted to the district's website saying a tip came in early Thursday morning over the Safe 2 Say app.
School officials said with information from the Safe2Say Something tipline, investigators have been able to identify the person responsible for making the threats of violence.
Investigators believe a middle school student created a false social media account, impersonating another Milton Area student. With that fake social media account, the student threatened to bring a gun to school.
Police have taken the student into custody and are filing juvenile charges. They believe the student acted alone.
