PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A 15-year-old student was charged after he allegedly made a threat toward a high school in Manassas last week.

On Aug. 13, the Prince William County Police Department said it began investigating the possible threat to Osbourn Park High School after a post was made on social media. As the investigation continued, officers learned that a 15-year-old student had posted a picture on Snapchat, that indicated violence at the school.
