A North Carolina elementary school teacher has been arrested after she allegedly threatened to shoot up the school where she taught.
Thompson was arrested on Tuesday and charged with communicating a threat of mass violence, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said. "A threat of school violence is understandably unsettling for the community. Please know that the school and law enforcement are working together as a team to ensure the last few weeks of the school year are safe and productive for our students," the sheriff added.It was unclear whether Thompson had yet obtained an attorney.
The threat came just weeks after two people were killed and four injured in a shooting at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, about two hours away from Hillsborough.
