On May 9, 2013, the Greenville Police Department (GPD) was advised about a threat made through Facebook. GPD began an investigation and began attempting to locate the individual who posted the threat on Facebook. The Greenville Independent School District was made aware of the threat and made a decision to do an external lockdown of the schools.
The threat read: “Bo! Tomorrow is Gonna Make Greenville infamous its like 200 Pending Deaths Tomorrow” #R.I.P.
This threat has since been removed from Facebook and a subsequent post indicated the threat was a joke.
