ORIGINAL STORY

The Nye County Sheriff's Office spoke out on a threat that has been circulating around social media.

Rosemary Clarke Middle School at 4201 North Blagg Road in Pahrump was the school mentioned in the threat. They recognize that a violent act was made but say they've found no credibility in the threats.

In a Facebook video Thursday morning, they assured parents that they are taking the protection of the students very seriously and have placed deputies at the middle school.
