A 15-year-old female Pine Ridge Middle School student has been charged with threatening classmates.
Lexington County sheriff’s deputies say she spoke of bringing a gun to school and shooting another student.
A deputy questioned the student at her home last week before releasing her to the custody of her mother.
Her mother told police there are no weapons in the house and the student does not have access to any weapons.
She did not give consent for a search of her residence.
The student was suspended from school pending a hearing at the district office.
She will appear in Lexington County Family Court at a later date.
Her name will not be released because she’s under 18.
This is the 3rd threat at Pine Ridge Middle this school year.
In the 1st incident Sept. 30, a 12-year-old male threatened on social media to bring a gun to school and use it against another student.
That student was charged with threats against a school and released to the custody of his parents.
The 2nd occurred when a 12-year-old female Pine Ridge Middle School student was charged Oct. 31 with threatening students.
Police reports indicate the student told 2 others she was going to kill them.
That student was charged and released to the custody of her parents.
