ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Police in Georgia say a 19-year-old was arrested after commenting about shooting and blowing up a school on a video game forum.

News outlets report Kevin Sorrells was arrested Wednesday and charged with felony terroristic threats.

A news release from Athens-Clarke County Police says authorities searched Sorrells’ home and didn’t find evidence of an imminent threat.

The investigation is ongoing. It’s unclear where the comments were posted. Authorities also didn’t name the school that was threatened.
