Sunday, a school bus driver in North Carolina was arrested after allegedly posting threats on social media targeting a middle school.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office says Lashauna Hooker Beachum, of Charlotte, is currently facing two felony charges for making false reports concerning mass violence on educational property.

Investigators say the threats — which were aimed at Porter Ridge Middle School and targeted several school employees and immigrants in general — showed up on Facebook early Friday morning, disappeared for several hours and then resurfaced.

“F*** Ms. Holomon, f*** Ms. Irvin, f*** Ms. Mathis and especially f*** Mr. Patience! I’m sick of this school, these f***king teachers and the immigrants in Suburban Estates trying to take over the school. You all won’t be satisfied until trump send all you f***ers out of here. I’m just going to shoot up the school to help him out,” the post read.

Several people reported her post to the sheriff’s office and school district leading deputies to visit the campus on Friday to determine the source.

While the motive for the outburst has yet to be determined, Beachum was fired by the school district for her lapse in judgement.

“Any comment, rumor or social media post mentioning violence on school property is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” said Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey in a statement.
