Student charged after threatening email prompts evacuation

HOPKINSVILLE, KY (WSMV) -

A threatening email that prompted a southern Kentucky school evacuation Thursday has led to terror charges against a 14-year-old girl.

The staff at Christian County High School received a bomb threat via email and found another note in a classroom.

Students were evacuated as a precaution and the building searched, but no bomb was found.

Investigators traced the e-mail to the 14-year-old student, who allegedly confessed.

She is now charged with two counts of terroristic threatening.
