13-year-old girl accused of making online threats targeting Warner Robins school

A 13-year-old female student was detained Monday afternoon in connection to a reported online school shooting threat that targeted Feagin Mill Middle School in Warner Robins on Sunday. The teenager is charged with terroristic threats and disruption of a public school, according to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office.

The student will be held at a Regional Youth Detention Center pending her appearance in court, law enforcement said.

Feagin Mill Middle School students viewed the threat on TikTok and parents notified the local board of education Sunday, according to police. Law enforcement swiftly got involved to identify the origin of the threat.

“As soon as the social media post was brought to our attention, school leaders contacted law enforcement and began working collaboratively with them to quickly respond to the situation,” Houston County School District spokesperson Jennifer Jones said in an email Monday afternoon.

Sheriff Matt Moulton said the district’s swift response allowed investigators from the Houston County Sheriff’s Office to quickly identify four potential suspects residing in the same home.

“Following a thorough investigation conducted by school resource deputies, the criminal investigations division, and the juvenile investigations division, the juvenile responsible for making the post was identified and taken into custody,” Moulton said in a statement.

Houston County School officials and Moulton confirmed that increased police presence remained at the middle school all day “out of an abundance of caution.” Jones added that the police provided reassurance to students and staff while the investigation continued. District office leaders were also at the school checking on students.

“Threats intended to cause fear among our students, faculty, and staff will not be tolerated,” Moulton said in a statement. “The Houston County Sheriff’s Office will continue to hold accountable anyone responsible for such acts that disrupt the safety and security of our schools.”

Jones said that the school district is conducting its own investigation into the serious violation of student conduct.

“When a student makes a threat toward a school, it is treated seriously. Students who make threats face significant consequences,” Jones previously told The Telegraph. “As outlined in our Student Code of Conduct, disciplinary action can include up to expulsion.”

Warner Robins parent Ashley Tobiasz-Harris said she refused to allow her 12-year-old son to return to Feagin Middle School until the suspects involved were arrested. She said she’s glad the suspects were caught, while recognizing the emotional toll this may have on the school community.

“It definitely makes letting my son go back to school feel safer,” Tobiasz-Harris said. “Unfortunately a lot of students are going to have anxiety about being at school, and it’s sad when children have to learn in fear.”

Tobiasz-Harris said that she fully agrees with the charges the student faces, as she sees the online threat as act of domestic terrorism.

“Because the threat wasn’t something (the students) read about online but rather in their own school, the other students will have to learn in fear. That’s so sad,” she said.
