According to a school official, the threat was posted on the student's Facebook page, but not while he was at school. WFMY News 2 received an email about the incident and contacted school officials. On Wednesday, Theo Helm, a spokesperson for Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools, confirmed that a student did post a threat directed at a specific teacher at Walkertown Middle School. Helms said someone found out about the threat and alerted a school staff member. For legal reasons, Helm said he can't reveal specifics about the student or his punishment. He said the school took the appropriate action based on the incident. Helm added that, there is also a "gray" area when something happens outside of the school, but is related.  Helms did say that the student will no longer be allowed in that teacher's classroom.
