School Threat Investigated in Benton County

At approximately 10 AM today, dispatch was notified by federal authorities of a possible pending offense against Lincoln R2 School by one or more students.

The FBI monitors social media for key words in the same text like bomb, shoot, kill, gun and school.

The school was locked down for approximately 2 hours today as the Sheriff's Office assisted Lincoln PD in contacting the identified juveniles and searching for any harmful materials.

The juveniles stated that they never intended to act on their statements and it was all a fantasy.

At least one student will be referred to the juvenile authority and the school will take appropriate disciplinary action.

Please talk to your kids about what is acceptable on social media and how to be responsible with your social media accounts.
