The FBI alerted Methuen Police about the threat that appeared on social media, which they then made the school aware of it.
Three Massachusetts schools have received threats in the last three days following the deadly school shooting in Georgia on Wednesday.
Authorities learned the account belonged to a student at the school, and after a search of the student's home, it was determined that the threat was not credible. Security expert Todd McGhee says the timing of these threats, at the start of the school year, serves as a reminder that all school should take a look at their response protocols. Every threat is now being approached as a real active shooter situation which requires manpower and aid from neighboring departments.
