In that case, police said no threat was made directly at any school in Pembroke Pines, but that the threat appeared to be “part of a viral online post that uses a generic school name and student name to create panic among the students and staff.”
Police said law enforcement agencies from around the country have been affected by the viral post.
“Anyone who makes a threat of this nature faces serious criminal charges, and will be taken into custody,” the police department warned on social media.
