The bomb threat directed at Gainesville High School today was the latest in a series of threats – some of them AI-generated – targeting Georgia schools that began in August about the time the new school year was beginning.
They have prompted evacuations, lockdowns, and gotten the attention of the GBI and FBI, who have joined local authorities in the investigations.
Schools in Jackson and Hall counties were targeted August 14, Atkinson County a week later. Earlier this week, four Atlanta High Schools received threats.
