Anonymous European Video Threat Lead To School Closures In Athens County

Yeti

Athens County sheriff's deputies say an anonymous video threatening the safety of "American students" was posted by a social media user in Europe and there's no risk to Ohio University. The threat was posted on the social media app Yeti. Authorities initially believed the threat was posted to a location-based social media app group connected to the university. The threat prompted heightened security on the campus and led to the closing six area school districts on Friday.
