Satellite Beach police investigate social media school threat

Police say the threat not substantiated

Sept. 29, 2006: Christopher Williams, 27, went to Essex Elementary School in Essex, Vt., looking for his ex-girlfriend, a teacher. He couldn't find her, but fatally shot one teacher and wounded another. Williams also killed his ex-girlfriend's mother. He shot himself twice in the head after the rampage and was arrested.

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. – The Satellite Beach Police Department said it is aware of a vague school threat posted to social media.

The threat, which has not substantiated, wasn't directed at a specific school, according to police.

Out of caution, the department said it and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office will provide extra law enforcement at school campuses Wednesday.

The threat comes a year after a mass shooting at a school in Parkland.
