STANWOOD, Wash. -- Police are investigating a threatening Instagram message that was sent to about 20 Stanwood High School students Monday.
The message was posted anonymously on the popular social media site, sheriff's deputies said.
Q13 FOX News was alerted to the threat early Tuesday morning from a parent of a student at the school. The parent sent an alleged screen shot of the message, which pictured around 20 students at the school accompanied with the text "I hate you all. I try to talk to you and be friends with you but you all ignore me. You all will face me and you'll be sorry. Car*** tu todo."
The authenticity of the screen shot sent to Q13 FOX was not confirmed by police.
A sheriff's deputy was placed at the high school Tuesday at the request of the Stanwood School District to insure increased security. School was still in session.
High school officials sent a letter home to parents notifying them of the threatening message:
