The Kentucky Center for School Safety announced Monday they were aware of the Facebook post circulating about a possible incident at a school being planned for the 28th in Kentucky and the 29th in Arkansas. Initially, the threat was reported to the FBI in Little Rock from an individual outside of the United States and was read in a gaming chat room. However, the FBI and Kentucky Intelligence Fusion Center, a branch of the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security, as well as state and local law enforcement, continue to monitor the situation.
