PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Several juveniles have been charged for posting online threats to the school district.

Over the last several weeks, the Pittsfield Police Department and the school administration have received various reports of online posts and conversations about possible school threats.
    
They were found on social media platforms including Snapchat, TikTok, and Discord.

Police say the current investigation has not yielded information regarding specific plans to target a particular school.

"The PPD takes these reports very seriously. We share information with our school department, other law enforcement agencies, and intelligence gathering centers. As part of this current investigation, the PPD has conducted searches of residences, interviewed students and parents, and seized personal electronics and other evidence," the department wrote in a press release on Monday.

"Several juveniles have been charged with criminal offenses at Berkshire Juvenile Court, and others are expected to be charged as the investigation progresses."

In a communication to the district, Superintendent Joseph Curtis said the police "took immediate action to locate the parties involved, and the parties involved have been detained."

Because of the suspects' ages, further information cannot be released at this time.
