This comes after several threatening messages, one of which involved a school shooting, surfaced Wednesday night on a Snapchat group used by Patrick Henry High School students, prompting the closure of Roanoke City Public Schools for Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday, a 35-year-old man was charged in connection with the threats.
