3 Students Will Be Charged For Threat They Describe As A Joke

Students involved in a possible shooting threat at a Wausau middle school say they started the rumor as a joke.  Wausau police say they were able to track down the author on the Snapchat comment, even though they tried to hide their identity.  Three students are going to be referred for disorderly conduct-related offenses.  They will also face consequences from the school district for the threat aimed at John Muir Middle School.
