Kleinpeter is working to learn more on what the threats were and if the student involved will face charges.

“Threatening behavior of any kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at Ridgeview Charter Middle School,” he wrote.

Parents at the school told Kleinpeter that they were not aware that the threats had been made until the letter was sent home after school on Thursday.
