Social media threats of violence targeting schools in Minnesota are on the rise. At least 10 schools in Minnesota, including in Austin, have reported threats of violence in recent days, in the wake of the deadly Oxford High School shooting in Michigan on Nov. 30. The Austin Police Department said Monday, Dec. 13, it investigated a threat on social media toward Austin High School, and determined the threat was not credible and the original post was not associated with the school district or any other location.
