Atlanta CBS noon news reported arrest of 16 year old boy in [View all]

Forsyth County, which is just north of north Fulton County. The boy attended West Forsyth High School. Apparently he posted something on social media considered as threatening the school, action to be taken today, and with a firearm. A parent saw it and reported it. The sheriff's detectives investigated it all night and made the arrest this morning. The kid has been turned over to Juvenile Justice Center.

This is a good school in a wealthy county.
