COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two 13-year-old boys were accused of making threats against Camdenton Middle School, according to a Monday press release from the Camdenton Police Department.

CPD wrote that it received information at 8:15 p.m. Sunday about threats shared to a social media website “of an individual threatening to shoot up Camdenton Middle School.”

The name of the website was not identified by police, but the department wrote it was assisted by the website and the FBI during the investigation.

Police wrote that it identified two Camdenton Middle School students “as being responsible for the posting of the threats on social media.” The names of the boys were not released.

Police contacted the parents to do interviews with the boys and one of them allegedly admitted to posting the threats, but “both stated they had no intent to follow through,” the release says.

The release says charges were referred to the Camden County Juvenile Justice Center.

ABC 17 News reached out to the Camdenton School District on Monday morning.
