NOTICE FROM THE AUGUSTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE:

Riverheads Middle School Threat
On September 19, 2025, at 0718, the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office received a report concerning a student at Riverheads Middle School who made threats to “shoot up the school.” The initial investigation has revealed that this is a fictitious threat made up by another student.
The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with school administration and the Superintendent’s Office, is actively investigating this matter. The suspect has been identified and is not at school, and deputies are in the process of gathering additional information.
Out of an abundance of caution, additional deputies have been assigned to the Riverheads School Complex to ensure the safety of students, staff, and the community.
At this time, the investigation is ongoing. Additional details will be released as they become available. There is no threat to the students, staff and the community. School scheduling and school activities will remain normal today.
The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office and School Administration remain committed to the safety and security of all students and staff within our schools.
The ACSO and Augusta County Public Schools remind parents to please monitor, educate, and counsel their children about social media. Students and young adults may think these types of threats are funny, jokes, or used to seek attention. However, the ACSO and School Administrators need parents to understand and explain that these threats have serious consequences. VA Code section, 18.2-60- Threats of death or bodily injury to a person or to a member of is family; threats of death or bodily injury to persons on school property; threats of death or bodily injury to heath care providers is a felony.
