Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A Knoxville teen is indicted by a grand jury after making a threat against Austin-East High School back in October.
According to court records, a victim told an SRO at Austin East that 19-year-old Orenthro Hylton had assaulted her on October 2.
An investigation into the report revealed that Hylton made threats on social media against Austin East, including statements that he “might just shoot someone up there to prove a point” and threatening to shoot during homecoming, court records say.
He was indicted by a Knox County Grand Jury and charged with recklessly threatening an act of mass violence on school property.
Arraignment is scheduled for January 8, 2025.
