Two 12-year-old male students from Madison Middle School have been charged in Juvenile Court with making threats of mass violence and filing a false report. These charges come after the students allegedly made statements in a social media group about “shooting up” their school. Other participants in the group reported that one of the boys was seen with several firearms, including what appeared to be an AK-47. During a police investigation, officers found a toy AK-47 in the student’s bedroom that closely resembled a real weapon, along with multiple unsecured firearms in the home. Authorities are continuing to work with the student’s parents to ensure proper firearm safety. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) emphasizes that threats against schools and public spaces are treated with utmost seriousness and that individuals responsible will face prosecution upon identification.
