FBI Investigating Teen's Threat Against Delco Schools

The FBI and local authorities are investigating after a teen girl made an online threat to shoot students at a Delaware County School District, according to police.

Police tell 6ABC that 17-year-old girl is in custody after posting this to Instagram Tuesday evening: “I’m coming tomorrow shooting up every Chester Upland School District School, Chester Community Charter School (Both), and Chichester High School as well “all blacks must die.”

Police are investigating and have not said yet if they believe the threat was valid. Authorities have not identified the student who allegedly made the threats. 6ABC says she is a Chester High School student.

Chichester School District Superintendent Dr. Kathy Sherman released the following statement via Facebook:

“An instagram message was circulated on social media this evening. Police and Authorities were notified immediately and are working to determine its credibility,” she wrote. “At this time, we do not have any further information. Due to the late time, we will update you via the Alert system in the morning. Please know that the safety of our students and staff is our main priority.”
