FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Less than a week into the start of a new school year, a Fulton County student has made a threat against a high school.
Tri-Cities High School Principal Amanda Gorham sent a letter home to parents earlier on Wednesday saying that a potential threat had been reported on social media and the school was placed under a hard lockdown.
