Franklin County, TN – A juvenile in Franklin County has been charged after allegedly making threats of violence toward Huntland School and being found in possession of multiple weapons, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office reported that on September 15, 2025, school officials alerted deputies about concerning statements allegedly made by the juvenile. Investigators said the threats referenced violence with weapons and targeted school staff and students.
On the morning of September 16, deputies responded to Huntland, where the juvenile was located near Main Street, about two blocks from Huntland School. Authorities say the juvenile was in possession of a sword, bow, arrows, knives, and other items. The individual was detained while the investigation continued.
According to investigators, the juvenile had already been withdrawn from Huntland School and was not currently enrolled in Franklin County Schools.
The juvenile has been charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, threats of mass violence, unlawful carrying and possession of a weapon, and making a false report to law enforcement. Officials said the identities of the suspect and potential victims are not being released because they are juveniles.
Sheriff Tim Fuller emphasized that student and staff safety remains the department’s top priority, crediting patrol and school resource officers with a swift response. “Our community remains safe,” Fuller stated.
The sheriff’s office confirmed there is no ongoing threat to Huntland School or any other Franklin County schools.
