Hi there...
I did some research tonight for news stories along the lines of threats at schools. Here are some of the most recent news stories I found. I think I'll start keeping a daily list at my blog since I've got a news alert set for this topic, but I can post them here too if you'd like. I'll probably post some of the more interesting events in separate news posts here at FR as well...

Tribune-Star policy: Threats not credible won't be covered Terre Haute, IN - 10/14/05
With this in mind, we will cease publication of stories related to school bomb threats or vague threatening messages scrawled on paper or bathroom walls. Only if police and school officials consider a threat credible will it be covered by the Tribune-Star.
We will report when an arrest is made related to threats, a violation for which young offenders are sure to lose the title student and find themselves before a judge

Federal agents later dismissed in court any association between the man and the terrorist group. And the man, Micah A. Akumu, told agents after his arrest that he had made up the story.

Thank you for the school links..
Good list, makes me feel sick, to see so many mentally ill people on one list.
I see nothing wrong with your idea to use some or all in threads, we often post the link to threads on TM, and I am
guilty of stealing the whole article to post here, if it is
full enough of info, most go with part of it.....smile.
Thank you for all your work.
