GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A teenager is facing charges after investigators said he posted video on social media threatening South Gwinnett High School.

The principal at South Gwinnett kept parents up to date, posting a letter online. It said school police responded immediately after learning of the threat.

Channel 2's Matt Johnson obtained the video that shows the student loading a gun and then saying, "South Gwinnett -- you're next."

Officials do not believe the student had a plan to carry out any acts of violence on campus, but the threat was alarming enough to charge him.
