Baltimore County Police said on Friday that a 17-year-old girl has been accused of making threats to at least eight Maryland schools, previously including Damascus High School in Montgomery County.
According to CBS News, the teen allegedly posted threats Tuesday of last week, to hurt students at Aberdeen High School in Harford County and Eastern Technical in Baltimore County. Police searched the schools and did not find any threats. According to the report, detectives found more social media posts in which the teen “boasted about previous school threats she made and got away with.”
The threats were made primarily towards Baltimore County schools (six threats), with two additional threats (one in Montgomery County and one in Hartford County):
- Kenwood High School
- Eastern Technical High School
- Chesapeake High School
- Stemmers Run Middle School
- Middle River Middle School
- Hawthorne Elementary
- Damascus High School (Montgomery County)
- Aberdeen High School (Harford County)
According to police, a request was made to detain the teen, but the 17-year-old was released to her parent by the Department of Juvenile Services. A date for the threat towards Damascus High School was not available. Detectives are working with other jurisdictions to identify additional suspects, and an investigation is ongoing, per police.
