STAFFORD, Va. — The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is investigating social media threats directed at local schools but has determined that there is no credible threat, authorities said Wednesday. The messages, which circulated online, specifically mentioned middle schools in the area.

In a statement, the sheriff’s office urged the community to report any suspicious activity or concerns to school officials or law enforcement. “We stand together against any threats to Stafford County schools and students,” the department said, encouraging people to contact School Resource Officers, administrators, or teachers if they see or hear anything of concern.
