Marion County sheriff’s deputies scrambled to four different schools Tuesday morning after threats appeared on social media.

Deputies were at Belleview Middle School, Belleview High School, Redeemer Christian School and Ocala Preparatory Academy as a precaution. Parents and students were told of the extra law enforcement presence at the schools while deputies investigated the claims.

Anyone with information regarding the threats is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (352) 732-9111.
